The Poort van den Bosch consortium has transferred the A59 motorway between Rosmalen and Geffen to the province of North Brabant as of December 31, 2020. Rijkswaterstaat (part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management and responsible for the design, construction, management and maintenance of the main infrastructure facilities in the Netherlands) is now responsible for the management and maintenance of the road.

The A59 motorway between Rosmalen and Geffen, a 9-kilometer section of road, was the first road project in the Netherlands to be procured as a public private partnership (PPP) project. The project was awarded to the consortium Poort van den Bosch in 2003, consisting of BAM PPP, Boskalis and Fluor Infrastructure, who took on the responsibility for the design, financing, construction and maintenance of the road over its 18 years concession period. The financing of the project was provided by BNG Bank and ING Bank.

The total project costs were €220 million (USD226.13 million). During the maintenance period, the consortium periodically received an ‘availability fee’ from the Province of North Brabant. This fee was dependent on the availability of the road and quality of the services. This approach incentivised Poort van Den Bosch to maintain the road in an efficient and effective way and ensure optimal availability of the A59 for road users.
