In order to make the widening of the A1 possible, the railway bridge at Muiderberg must be extended. The larger span is necessary because of the wider A1 and this can only be achieved with an arch bridge made of steel and concrete.

In order to bridge this large distance, the bridge will have a steel arch, so that the bridge is sufficiently strong and does not bend. The top of the steel arch will be 50 meters high. The bottom of the bridge (where the train runs over) is made of concrete. Check the online visitor center for detailed information: http://bit.ly/spoorbrugmuiderberg. Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere In the coming years, Rijkswaterstaat will widen the busy highways between Schiphol, Amsterdam and Almere with 1 or more lanes. This will improve the flow of the A10, A9, A1 and A6 and thus the accessibility of the northern Randstad. The quality of life in the area will also be increased, by a good integration of the road into the landscape and the construction of more and higher noise barriers.
