The construction of the Amsterdam metro line |
|
After the city archives of Cologne collapsed because a mistake was made in the construction of the North-South metro line, ARD Tagesthemen plans a reportage about the problems with the construction of a Amsterdam metro line with exactly the same name. In Amsterdam only the metro stations are constructed, but already the inhabitants of a few historical houses on the Vijzelgracht had to leave their homes, because the houses were sinking. The houses are supported so they do not fall apart, but the tunnels still have to be drilled. What are the dangers during the metro construction in Amsterdam?
Activities: research, book camera crew, set-up.
