The Spanish infrastructure fund manager Serena Industrial Partners has acquired the concession of the A1–A6 motorway in the Netherlands, marking its entry into that market and strengthening its expansion strategy across Europe’s main markets. The project is structured as a 25-year public-private partnership (PPP) based on availability payments for the operation of this road infrastructure.
The motorway, which stretches 18 kilometres south of Amsterdam, forms part of the strategic Schiphol–Amsterdam–Almere corridor, one of the country’s main arteries due to its key role in connecting Schiphol Airport with the northern part of the Randstad, the economic heart of the Netherlands.
Serena is participating in the project alongside industrial partners, most notably Hochtief, the German subsidiary of the ACS Group, which will be responsible for day-to-day operations, routine maintenance and road safety, ensuring the long-term performance of the asset.
The contract includes a comprehensive modernisation plan, which comprises:
Among the most notable infrastructures within the concession are the Diemen railway bridge, the bridge over the Amsterdam–Rhine Canal, the Vecht aqueduct, the Muiderberg railway bridge and the Hollandse bridge.
In addition, the investment aligns with Serena’s commitment to promoting resilient infrastructure with positive social and environmental impact. During the construction phase, environmental mitigation measures were implemented to preserve soil and water, reduce noise and protect biodiversity.
The project also takes part in the GAES (Green As A Service) pilot, which measures in real time the ecosystem services generated by the infrastructure, an innovative approach to quantifying and enhancing the environmental benefits associated with mobility assets.
With this transaction, Serena not only strengthens its international footprint but also advances its infrastructure management track record, which currently comprises 17 assets with an enterprise value of approximately €2 billion across 11 European countries, spanning the mobility, environmental and social sectors.
