Motorway ViA15 GelreGroen
Project overview
On 3 July 2025, Rijkswaterstaat and GelreGroen – comprising BESIX, Dura Vermeer, HOCHTIEF, Van Oord and John Laing – signed an updated DBFM contract for ViA15. The consortium is responsible for the design, construction, financing, and 20‑year operation and maintenance of the infrastructure. BESIX played an important role in structuring the financing and also acts as a shareholder in the project.
Scope of the works
With ViA15, Rijkswaterstaat is working on a robust solution for the daily traffic jams in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region in the east of the Netherlands. The project involves the construction of a new section of motorway (A15) and the widening of parts of the existing A12 and A15. In addition, a bridge approximately 2.5 kilometres long will be built over the Pannerdensch Canal and a sunken motorway will be realised over a length of more than three kilometres at Groessen/Helhoek. Finally, a parallel fast cycle route will be built alongside the motorway.
