On 16 February 2026, Rijkswaterstaat published the European tender for the construction of ten new noise barriers in Southern Netherlands (SN). This project, part of the national Multi-Year Noise Abatement Program (MJPG), aims to reduce noise nuisance along national roads in Limburg and North Brabant.
Traffic noise along national roads can cause nuisance to residents. Noise barriers are an effective measure to reduce this nuisance. Throughout the Netherlands, 150 noise barriers are being installed within the MJPG to improve the quality of life near national roads.
Noise barriers in Southern Netherlands
Between 2027 and 2030, a total of 52 noise barriers will be constructed in Southern Netherlands. The tender for the MJPG SN 2027/2028 covers the first phase in Southern Netherlands:
- 2027: eight noise barriers in Limburg
- 2028: two noise barriers in North Brabant
The remaining noise barriers, which fall under MJPG SN 2, will be tendered later. We expect to publish this follow-up tender in 2028.
Tendering
The tender is conducted through a European non-open procedure. Interested market parties can register until 22 March 2026 via TenderNed . The award is expected to be announced in September 2026.
Prior to the start of the registration period, we will organize a general information meeting on 24 February 2026.
General information meeting
During the general information meeting, we will provide an explanation of the project scope, contract form, planning, and tender procedure. The main points of attention regarding safety, environment, and technology will also be discussed.
The meeting is intended to inform market parties timely and clearly about the assignment and procedure. Participation is voluntary. Registration for the meeting is via TenderNed.
