Amsterdam’s new Noord-Zuid metro line will not be completed until February 2018, adding a further six month delay to the project, the Telegraaf reports on Thursday.

The original opening date was 2011.
The total price has also risen because of new tunnelling problems. The line will now cost at least €3.1bn, the paper says. In 2002, when the council gave the project the green light, the cost was put at €1.4bn.
The paper says the complete project is costing €2,500 per Amsterdammer.
