I amsterdam - Noord Zuidlijn

The North South Line is a 9.5 km metro line. It begins above ground in Amsterdam-North, proceeds under the IJ waterway and Central Station, and then forges a path beneath the water of the Damrak in two tunnels towards Zuid/WTC Station, its other terminus. The North South Line will have 8 stations in total. The line re-emerges from the tunnel as it passes the A10 ring road between the Europaplein and Zuid/WTC station. The tunnelled portion is 4.2 km long. The route was decided on the basis of the tunnel boring machines following the existing street pattern, which means that no building needs to be demolished. When it comes into operation, (planned for 2015), the new metro line is expected to carry 160,000 passengers a day.
