As we count down to the official opening of the Blankenburgverbinding in the Netherlands on 7 December, two events took place last weekend to explore the brand-new road and tunnel infrastructure. On Saturday, visitors had the unique opportunity to get a preview of the new road infrastructure during an open day. A walk through the Maasdeltatunnel provided a behind-the-scenes look at the construction, showcasing a project that DEME is proud to be part of.

On Sunday, the Tunnel Run challenged runners with a 10-kilometre race featuring steep gradients and long descents in the Maasdeltatunnel and Hollandtunnel. For our DEME team, many of whom contributed to the construction of the Blankenburgverbinding, running through the infrastructure they helped build was an unforgettable experience!
