Working with the Province of Noord-Brabant to transform a congested highway and complete a full-lifecycle PPP
The N59 highway between Rosmalen and Geffen in Noord-Brabant had become a significant bottleneck, with heavy traffic using residential streets as shortcuts to avoid congestion. The Province sought a partner to transform the road into a full-standard motorway and maintain it across a long-term concession.
In 2003, the Province of Noord-Brabant selected the Poort van den Bosch consortium - comprising Invesis (70%), Boskalis (20%) and Fluor Infrastructure (10%) - under a DBFM contract. BAM Civiel and BAM Wegen delivered construction, completed in December 2005. The scheme converted 9km of the N59 into the A59 motorway with five split-level crossings and four junctions.
Invesis managed the concession from 2006, with handback discussions beginning nearly five years ahead of the end date - ensuring a smooth, collaborative conclusion to the partnership. The A59 was successfully handed back in December 2020.
