The Piet Hein Tunnel [1] in Amsterdam the Netherlands is a 1.9 km tunnel under an inlet of the Zuider Zee. It provides an East/West link between the city center and the A10 beltway encircling the city. It was completed in 1997. The tunnel, approaches and related buildings were designed by the hypermodernist Dutch architectural firm Van Berkel + Bos. It is named after the Dutch naval hero Piet Hein.
