The widening of the A2 between the Het Vonderen and Kerensheide interchanges to 2x3 lanes plus emergency lane was awarded to Boskalis by the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management in August 2023.

These are the words of Faisel Baboe, strategic safety coach at Baboe Consultancy BV. His son Cynric, manager of integral safety in the Boskalis team, works closely with Faisel to ensure safety during the widening of the A2 motorway in Limburg.
