This TEN-T project, to be constructed in two phases, concerns a general increase in capacity of a 30km section of the A12 highway between the city of Utrecht and the town of Veenendaal. The project is to be procured as a PPP for the design, construction, finance and maintenance of the road section.
This stretch of the A12 highway between the Randstad conurbation and Germany is increasingly congested, especially during peak hours. The proposed improvement of the A12 highway is part of a wider strategy of the Dutch government to improve the connection to cater for the current and future traffic numbers.
