The Province of Fryslân has granted Heijmans final contract award for the
realization of the 'Below-grade Drachtsterweg including Aqueduct' in Leeuwarden,
the eastern access road from the N31 provincial road. The contract value amounts
to over € 30 million. This is a Design & Construct contract in which an
excellent design and a well-thought out implementation method resulted in the
award of the contract to Heijmans.

The project largely comprises the below-grade construction of the Drachtsterweg
road from the south side of the Drachtsterplein plaza to the Wiarda boat route,
the construction of an aqueduct across the Van Harinxmakanaal canal and the
construction of the Zuiderburen district fly-over crossings. In addition to the
design and construction of the road with viaducts and the aqueduct, Heijmans is
also looking after the demolition   of the bridge, the construction of the boat
route, the bicycle paths and the bicycle bridge, all lighting and installations,
landscaping and surrounding infrastructure in this area. The project provides
due consideration to optimally integrating the structures into their
surroundings and maintaining the traffic capacity and flows of the existing road
during construction. Various Heijmans Roads and Heijmans Civil Engineering
business units are involved in this integral contract. Work planning will
commence immediately and construction will take place in 2014 and 2015.

The below-grade Drachtsterweg including the aqueduct is part of the Free-Lane
Programme designed to improve Leeuwarden's accessibility by constructing various
approach roads and by implementing drastic reconstructions of the current
infrastructure. The municipality of Leeuwarden is the future road manager and
owner of the Drachtsterweg, while the Province of Friesland will become the
owner and manager of the aqueduct. The new Drachtsterweg will make an important
contribution to providing access to the city of Leeuwarden for road traffic to
the N31 provincial road, as well as for shipping traffic.
