News from the board meeting

This summer, Metroselskabet will open the M4 extension to Sydhavn and Valby. At the meeting, the board received an update on the project and the work to plan the opening, where the opening activities include a public celebration at Mozarts Plads. The project is in an important phase where the completion of architectural work and testing of subsystems takes up a lot of time - including work on the common transfer area at København Syd, safety documentation and completion of station plazas. 

The art at each of the five stations on the M4 Sydhavn is nearing completion. The integrated works are created by five different Danish artists and have been created for the specific stations with financial and competence support from the Danish Arts Foundation, as well as funding from the Villum Foundation and the Obel Family Foundation. 

"Work on the metro extension to Sydhavn and Valby began five and a half years ago, and the Board is pleased to note that The Company has followed the plan that was laid out and can therefore open this summer. The Company looks forward to welcoming our passengers soon at five stations, which, among other things, will create new connections between the capital's districts and the rest of the country through good transfer options between regional, national and international bus and train services," says Chairman of the Board Jørn Neergaard Larsen. 

At the meeting, the board was presented with the latest figures for the Metro, which in February had 8.1 million passengers and continues to experience growth in passenger numbers.   

The Board was also given a status on the København Syd urban development project, where Metroselskabet is tasked with preparing a master plan and subsequently developing areas at København Syd in Valby. In 2023, The Company conducted a master plan competition for the urban development, which has since been further developed.
