EIB considers financing A6 road PPP in the Netherlands
The European Investment Bank is considering providing project finance for the A6 "Almere Havendreef - Almere East" road concession in the Netherlands.
The project involves the upgrade and redevelopment of the road from 2 x 2 to 4 x 2. The project will include the design, build, finance and maintenance (DBFM) of the road for a period of 20 years.
The total project investment is estimated at €230 million (US$251.5 million). The EIB is mulling a €100 million (US$ 109.3million) loan to help financing the road.
The tender process for the road project was launched in March 2015.
The A6 highway runs over 100 kilometers in length and it connects the A1 motorway at interchange Muiderberg with the A7 motorway at interchange Joure. The A6 motorway, of which the largest part is located in the province of Flevoland, is the shortest route between the city of Amsterdam and most parts of the northern provinces of Friesland and Groningen.
It is the third design-build-finance-maintain public-private partnership (DBFM-PPP) road scheme included in the much larger Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere (SAA) transport investment programme, which involves major upgrade and widening works of four existing highways in the conurbation of Amsterdam, two of which are already awarded and financed by the Bank: A1/A6 Motorway PPP and A9 Gaasperdammerweg Motorway PPP.
