Constuction aqueduct HSL Ringvaart Haarlemermeer polder Netherlands Holland
HSL-Zuid (Dutch: Hogesnelheidslijn Zuid, English: Southern High-Speed Line), is a 125-km long high-speed railway line under construction between the Netherlands and Belgium. Originally scheduled for completion in 2007, it is now expected to open in mid 2009[1]. It will be served by newly renovated Thalys trains from Amsterdam to Paris and Brussels. The line will also be used by domestic V250 trains exclusively operated by NS Hispeed, a subsidiary of Nederlandse Spoorwegen and KLM; these so-called shuttle trains, operating over a combination of new and currently existing rail, will connect The Hague and Breda, with ongoing service to Antwerp and Brussels. However, these trains have not yet been delivered by Ansaldobreda, which along with ERTMS issues is delaying the opening of the line. The Rijkswaterstaat, a department of the Dutch Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management, is responsible for the organization of the project. The government awarded the largest ever public-private partnership (PPP) contract to the consortium Infraspeed until 2030
