The 3Angle special purpose company, a consortium of 2248 Fluor, 3i Infrastructure and 6836 Heijmans Capital has completed the financing of the A27/A1 public private partnership (PPP) project in the Netherlands. The project is valued at more than US$246 million, which includes a 25-year management and maintenance period.

3Angle is responsible for the financing, design, construction, management and maintenance of the reconstruction of the A27 motorway between Utrecht North and the Eemnes Junction, as well as the A1 motorway between the Eemnes Junction and the Bunschoten-Spakenburg interchange. Fluor and Heijmans will provide engineering, procurement, construction services and operations and maintenance during the operational phase with equal shares.

The project includes widening the A27 motorway to two three-lane traffic lanes; widening the A1 motorway to two four-lanes and increasing capacity at the A27/A1 connecting curve within the Eemnes Junction. Construction is due to be completed by the end of 2018 when the 25-year maintenance period will commence.

The Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management of the Netherlands (4767 Rijkswaterstaat) is undertaking the project to improve safety and traffic flow on the A27 and A1 motorways while respecting the surrounding natural environment.

    Glow-in-the-dark motorway opens in the Netherlands
    A smart highway project, which has glowing lines painted on each side of the road, has been launched in the Netherlands. The brainchild of Dutch artist Daan Roosegaarde, the project is part of the N329 Road of the Future in Oss. Both edges of the road have been painted with three lines of photo-luminescent paint, which absorbs light during the day and them glows green during the night. Roosegaarde calls these lines ‘Glowing Lines’. The aim is to increase visibility and safety. The project has been ins

    Maintaining momentum: learning lessons from the London Olympics
    Japan will not only host this year’s ITS World Congress but has been selected for the 2020 Olympics. So what can Japan, and indeed Brazil, learn from the traffic management for London 2012 - Geoff Hadwick finds out. It was a key moment when Olympic boss Jacques Rogge signed off London 2012, calling the Games “happy and glorious.” Scarred by the logistical disaster of Atlanta 1996 and the last-minute building panic for Athens 2008, Rogge clearly thought London 2012 was an object lesson in how to plan and

    Florida's high occupancy tolling success in reducing congestion
    TransCore's David Sparks writes about the development of 95 Express, Florida Department of Transportation's new high-occupancy tolling facility. High-Occupancy Tolling (HOT) lanes are one of the most compelling uses of existing transportation infrastructure to expand capacity, particularly in major metropolitan areas which have limited right of way but need to relieve congestion. According to the Federal Highway Administration, while vehicle miles travelled have increased over 70 per cent in the past 20 yea

    Road space utilisation improves travel times, reduces costs
    For major road works schemes, necessary lane closures are timed to minimise congestion, most frequently at night and on weekends when traffic is at its lightest. As a result, rigid timetables are used in planning, programming and implementing work. In the UK, to calculate the expected traffic demand through roads works, historic profiles from the loop-based MIDAS (Motorway Incident Detection Automatic Signalling) system were used. These provided a valuable indicator of anticipated traffic behaviour but were
