An external researcher, Peter Cloo, has undertaken a report
on the neglect of maintenance of bridges and quays in Amsterdam over the past
decades. He came to the conclusion that
getting the maintenance of civil construction in the city back on par is a
complex, major and extremely urgent task.
Six bridges are in such bad shape that immediate intervention is
necessary. Of the 200 kilometers of quay
walls, at least 10 kilometers are in very poor condition with an increased risk
of collapse. The daily, Het Parool,
wrote that 2 billion Euro may be required in the long-term to get the city’s
infrastructure back into shape.
