This work was required to repair leaks and prevent subsidence: in other words, in order to guarantee a future-proof sewer for the entire campus. The work was carried out in four phases and lasted until the end of September 2021.

Phasing schedule

Fase 1

• 29th of March – early July
• Stieltjesweg, junction between AS and CEG up to Berlagepad: end of March – early May
• Berlageweg to Jaffalaan: early May – end of August

Fase 2

• End of June – September
• Berlageweg to Broekweg (entrance to X)

Fase 3

• Mid August – end of September
• Van den Broekweg to Kruithuispad

Fase 4

• August – end of September
• Heertjeslaan to Uytenbogaartsingel

Diversions

Cyclists were diverted via Schoemakerstraat and Leeghwaterstraat. You can find an overview of the diversions on the map below.

In line with the TU Delft Mobility Vision and the spatial development plans, initial efforts were made to encourage cyclists to use alternative routes. We also looked from north to south at the places where cyclists and pedestrians meet. Suggestions for improving safety and traffic flow were made for these junctions. This is all part of our efforts to achieve a future-proof campus: a park-like pedestrian zone where bicycles are ‘guests’.

Other work

Since the Mekelweg cycle path was being dug up in phases, we seized the opportunity to do other essential work, including replacing old cabling and piping (ICT), updating public lighting (LED), installing flexible ducting for glass-fibre routing (ICT) and other cables and pipelines.
