An international consortium of companies called A-Lanes A15, submitted on 27th February 2009 its request to participate in the tender by Rijkswaterstaat for the Dutch DBFM Project A15 Maasvlakte - Vaanplein. Under the banner A-Lanes A15, Dutch construction companies Strukton and Ballast Nedam join their strengths and experiences in the Netherlands with the renowned international PPP players John Laing and Strabag and the technical installation specialist Croon. Technical, legal and financial advisors complement the consortium.

A-Lanes A15 stands for designing, building, financing and maintaining sustainable infrastructure solutions that will guarantee maximum traffic flow and safety on the A15 between Maasvlakte and Vaanplein both during and after construction. A-Lanes A15 aims to be an A-brand that will be recognized as such by the road users, residents and all companies in the Rotterdam region that depend on this economic traffic artery. It aspires to deserve the equivalent of an environmental/quality label for its design and implementation of road and traffic lane (re)constructions. "Traffic Lanes with an A-label" is the concept that inspires the consortium A-Lanes A15 .

A-Lanes A15 expects to be admitted in March 2009 to the Outline Proposal phase of the Competitive Dialogue. All dialogue phases combined will take more than a year, with the Final Bid according to the current schedule being required for submission in June 2010.
