New Storstrøms Bridge, and demolished of the old Bridge

Between Copenhagen and the new Femern-connection between Denmark and Germany the railway crosses Storstrømmen. Due to aging and fatigue problems on the existing bridge over Storstrømmen it was decided to build a new bridge with two highspeed railtracks, a two lane local road and a combined pedestrian/cycle path. The total length of the bridge is about 4000 meters. The exsisting bridge has to be demolished, and we will have an overview of how that will be done.

Nordhavns Tunnel 

The Tunnel will be 1,4 km long, and it is a continuation of an exsisting tunnel of 900 m in length. TThe new Tunnel is prepared for further extension to an eastly Ringroad as Tunnel to Copenhagen Airport. The Construction take part in the middle of Copenhagen, and is going under the biggest Lightboatharbour in Denmark. The total cost of the Project is about 4 bio. Dkr, and the Tunnel is expected opened for traffic in the middle of 2027. 

Copenhagens bicycle infrastructure – guided bike or walking tour 

The tour will take the participants through a sample of Copenhagen’s bicycle infrastructure, including iconic solutions like the Bicycle Snake and the busiest bike path in the World on Queen Louise’s Bridge. We will also look at solutions for pedestrians, universal design and urban design. We will make stops at some of the interesting locations and discuss pros and cons of the solutions we see.
