en.Wedoany.com Reported - Construction of the Copenhagen Nordhavn Tunnel (Nordhavn Tunnel) project has experienced delays, pushing the opening of this new road tunnel from the originally planned 2027 to 2028.

The project is being built by a joint venture between MT Højgaard Danmark and NV BESIX, with the Danish Road Directorate as the client. Following discussions with the client regarding the project delays and necessary additional works, the BESIX-MTH joint venture has agreed to the new schedule.

The tunnel line runs beneath Svanemøllehavnen and Kalkbrænderiløpet in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, and its connecting link will serve as an extension of the Nordhavnsvej tunnel towards Nordhavn.

This 1.4-kilometer tunnel starts east of Nordhavnsvej/Strandvænget and ends at Kattegatvej in Nordhavn. The connection will provide more direct access to Nordhavn while diverting a significant amount of heavy traffic from other road networks in the Østerbro district. The tunnel features a twin-tube design with two lanes in each direction, with an expected daily traffic volume of approximately 8,200 vehicles. Construction uses the cut-and-cover method and requires groundwater dewatering. The project was initially estimated to cost around $348 million at the start of construction, but delays and engineering changes mean the final cost will be higher.
