The preparatory work with shifting cables and pipes have already begun, but the city council still has to make a final decision on the draft.
At the Buitenrustbrug over the ‘t Spaarne River, which connects Haarlem-Zuid with East and Schalkwijk, the bus station will be located with many fast connecting lines to Amsterdam, Schiphol and neighborhood municipalities.
More than a thousand homes are being built around the public transport hub, a sports park is being built and a tunnel will be built to better connect the different residential areas.
110 million euros
The government also ultimately deposited money for the project that costs 110 million so far. “To relieve the A9, which we do broadcast in the future, such a public transport hub is very important,” said outgoing minister Robert Tienman. “But I hope it can be realized within the budget and within time.”
The intention is that from 2029 you can take the bus to Amsterdam from 2029 for your work, study or going out to Amsterdam. For the train travelers is a little more northern station ‘Spaarnwoude’ and ‘Haarlem’.
