About Hemtunnel
The Hem Tunnel is a railway tunnel in the Netherlands, about 2.4 kilometers long, that runs beneath the North Sea Canal and connects the North Holland cities of Amsterdam and Zaandam. Opened in 1983, it replaced the Hembrug, the bridge that had been used before, and runs directly from Zaandam station to Amsterdam Sloterdijk. The tunnel has three tracks and is used by trains on the Nieuwediep–Amsterdam railway line at regular intervals. When the tunnel went into service, Zaandam station was given a new look, while Sloterdijk station was opened for the occasion.
