The Dutch province of South Holland has awarded the contract for building the Rijnland Route to the consortium Comol5, according to consortium member 5177 Vinci.

Rijnland Route will connect Katwijk, via the A44, to the A4 at Leiden.

Comol5 consists of TBI companies Mobilis and Croonwolter&dros (25% each), DIMCO - DEME Infra Marine Contractors - (25%) and Vinci Construction Grands Projets (25%). Value of the contract is €492 million.

The consortium will be responsible for the reconstruction of the Leiden West motorway junction and the construction of the 4km N434, including a 2.2km bored tunnel. Comol5 will also implement 12km of motorway widening and adaptations to the A4 and A44 required for construction of the Rijnland Route. These will be made under traffic with pertaining interchanges. In addition to construction, which will be completed in about six years, the contract comprises maintenance for 15 years.

The project partners of Comol5 have ample experience with designing and developing large infrastructural projects such as bridges and tunnels, particularly bored tunnels. TBI and DIMCO projects include construction of the Coentunnel and the Delft railway tunnel in the Netherlands. Vinci was involved in the duplex tunnel - a bored double-deck tunnel – for the A86 near Paris.
