2012-DK-20010-S New railway line Copenhagen-Ringsted (detailed planning phase): access lines to the future Fehmarn Belt fixed link
The existing main line that runs from Copenhagen to Ringsted via Roskilde is one of Denmark's most heavily used and strategically important routes. It is used by commuters between Copenhagen and the rest of Zealand as well as for nationwide and international passenger and freight traffic. The Danish Parliament passed the Construction Act for the New Line Copenhagen-Ringsted on the 26th of May 2010 and the opening is expected by 2018. The new line will result in a significantly improved timetable with more departures, shorter travel times and fewer delays, in short delivering a far better rail capacity. The new rail line will consist of approx. 60 km's of electrified double track, including changes of the existing track structures at Køge and Ringsted.
The Action consists of detailed planning phase studies of a new high speed railway between Copenhagen and Ringsted, a vital part of the PP20 (Railway axis Fehmarn Belt) in Denmark. These studies consist of three main activities: i) Project management, ii) Detailed design for construction work and iii) Tender packages.
The action is closed.
