Arena tunnel closed closed for three days | Amsterdam
The Arenatunnel in Zuidoost will be partially closed for the planned three days. The municipality is installing extra lighting at the escape doors in the tunnel under the Johan Cruijff Arena.
On Monday, January 16, the tunnel tube towards the Dolingadreef will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. On Tuesday 17 January, the tunnel tube towards the A2 motorway will be closed from 07:00 until Wednesday 18 January 17:00. The diversion routes are indicated with signs. Parking garage P1 will remain open.
the reason for the extra lighting is that the escape routes and doors are easier to find in the event of a fire.
Fire safety not in order
There has been a lot to do in the past year around the escape doors. In December 2021, the tunnel was closed until June 2022, because the fire safety was not in order. Research by the tunnel manager later showed that the tunnel is less safe than was thought at the end of 2021. eventually there were 6 new escape doors.
