The First Heinenoord tunnel constructed in 1969 is due for a major renovation. All installations will be replaced, the service buildings renovated and the landscape around the tunnel will be rearranged with more room for green and ecology. Rijkswaterstaat has assigned Syb van Breda & Co to draw up the Aesthetic Program of Requirements (EPVE) for the tunnel and its surroundings, as well as the Preliminary Design of the service buildings. The design has been completed in autumn 2019, the selection of the contractor has started in January 2020. Delivery of the renovated tunnel is planned in 2023.
