Parkway6, a consortium of John Laing Group, Dura Vermeer, BESIX and Rebel has signed up for the project, which includes design, construction, financing and 20 years of management and maintenance of the A6 Almere highway. The project will enhance an important link in the traffic system in the Schiphol – Amsterdam – Almere (SAA) corridor, part of the core TEN-T network. The road section links up with the A1/A6 which was previously financed with EIB support.

The growth of the town of Almere, together with forecast traffic increases on this road section, has created the need to expand the road's capacity. The widening will allow for a smoother flow of traffic, thus reducing traffic jams and emissions. Once completed, solar panels installed in the middle of the A6 / A27 junction are expected to produce an average of almost 1MW of electricity which will provide enough energy to operate all the electrical systems involved in the road’s operation including lighting, traffic control, and signaling.
