After two years of enabling works, permanent construction has now started on the €7.5 billion (£6.3 billion) NEC-procured sections of the Oosterweel ring road project in Antwerp Belgium. The two NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contracts (ECC) Option C (target contract with activity schedule) form the right-bank portion of the government’s massive project to close the city’s R1 ring road via a new crossing under the River Scheldt. It is the largest ECC awarded to date. The first section of the 4 km NEC-procured canal tunnels will start within a dewatered sheet-piled cofferdam in early 2025.
