Definitive restoration of the quay wall at Grimburgwal
On 1 September 2020, the quay wall at Grimburgwal outside BG2 collapsed. The UvA and the municipality of Amsterdam have taken temporary measures to ensure that the quay is safe to use.
The UvA is preparing for the definitive restoration of the quay wall. It is doing this in partnership with the Bridges and Quay Walls Programme (PBK) of the municipality of Amsterdam, as the other quay walls and bridges on Grimburgwal also need to be replaced.
The project is in the research phase. The UvA and the PBK are discussing the type of quay wall restoration to be carried out. Once a decision on this has been made, the design phase will begin. The current timeline is not yet known and depends on the quay wall restoration decision-making process.
