North Sea Canal - Crossings

Crossings

Railway tunnels (with nearest train station on the south and north bank):

• between Amsterdam Sloterdijk railway station and Zaandam railway station
• between Driehuis railway station and Beverwijk railway station

Road tunnels, from east to west:

• Zeeburger Tunnel and Zeeburger Bridge (part of the A10 motorway)
• IJ Tunnel
• Coen Tunnel (part of the A10 motorway)
• Wijker Tunnel (part of the A9 motorway)
• Velser Tunnel (part of the A22 motorway)

The most western crossing is the road over the locks. The route depends on which of the locks is closed.

Several ferries. In Amsterdam there are several across the IJ; at least one is frequent, operating 24 hours a day, free of charge.
