Rijkswaterstaat, part of the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and the Environment, has launched a tender process to develop the A-27 road stretch between Utrecht - Hilversum and the A1 road stretch between Hilversum and Bunschoten-Spakenburg through a PPP project.

The road project will involve, among others:

• upgrade and redevelopment of the A-27 stretch from 2x2 to 2x3 lanes and
• upgrade and redevelopment of the A-1 stretch from 2x2 to 2x4 lanes.

The preferred bidder will be responsible for the design, build, finance an maintenance (DBFM) of the roads for a period of 25 years.

Interested parties must submit their request to participate on or before 19 June 2015.

Two months ago Rijkswaterstaat launched a tender process for the A6 "Almere Havendreef - Almere East" PPP project and a month earlier we reported that Keersluis Limmel Company (KLC) reached financial close for the Limmel Lock PPP project on the Juliana Canal in southern Netherlands.
