This summer, major construction work is taking place in and around Amsterdam, including Amsterdam Zuidoost. This will lead to increased traffic congestion and delays.

Amsterdam Zuidoost will experience traffic disruptions and increased congestion this summer due to construction works in and around the city. We strongly advise visitors to prepare well for their trip. Leave the car at home and come on foot, by bike, or using public transport.
Want to know exactly where roadworks are happening? Check the link below so you won’t be caught by surprise.
Public Transport:
Amsterdam Bijlmer ArenA station is just a few minutes’ walk from AFAS Live. The station is easily accessible by train, metro, or bus. Due to the construction work, some routes may be altered or cancelled, so always check the NS app or 9292 public transport planner before you travel. The Amsterdam Bereikbaar website also provides useful information on how the construction might affect your train journey.
Bicycle:
Do you live in or around Amsterdam? Then cycling is a great option. In many cases, it's just as fast — or even faster — than driving. A 10-minute car ride often equals about 30 minutes by bike. Don’t have your own bike? There are plenty of shared options available, such as shared bikes or e-scooters. It’s flexible, sustainable, and you won’t need to worry about finding a parking spot.
Travel by bicycle
Prefer to travel by car?
That’s possible, of course — but keep in mind that roadworks will make traffic heavier than usual. If you choose to drive, try to travel outside of rush hour. Carpooling is also a smart option, whether you’re going with friends or using an app to share a ride. It’ll make your trip a bit more relaxed and help reduce traffic congestion.
