The development of the A6 "Almere Havendreef - Almere East" road concession in the Netherlands has been provisionally awarded to the consortium Parkway 6 B.V. i.o.

The consortium consists of the companies Dura Vermeer Group NV, Besix Group SA, Rebel Valley BV and John Laing Investments Limited. 

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 contract value is estimated at €300 million (US$340.92 million).

There is a provisional period given by Rijkswaterstaat, the Dutch contracting authority for PPP infrastructure projects, until early April, during which other bidders may still object to the proposed decision.

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.

The beginning of construction work of the road is scheduled for 2017 and will last until no later than 2020.

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 program, which involves major upgrade and widening works of four existing highways in the conurbation of Amsterdam, two of which have been already awarded and financed: A1/A6 Motorway PPP and A9 Gaasperdammerweg Motorway PPP.
