Double-tube road tunnel under the Gent-Terneuzen Canal provides a new connection between the important ports of the Netherlands in the north and those of Flanders in the south.

The North-South link Antwerp is part of the Brussels-Amsterdam high-speed line. The project comprises the reconstruction of the existing accesses, the construction of a passage under the main station as well as the construction of two tunnel sections from „Astridplatz“ to „Damplatz“.

Tunnel construction in a very restricted area requires a multitude of construction methods to carry out the structure with as little interference as possible with the neighbourhood.
