Two new metro stations are on the way in Ydre Nordhavn. The stations will ensure efficient public transport from day one for the many people who will be living, working, and traveling in the capital's largest development area for many years to come. When the stations are completed, passengers to and from Ydre Nordhavn will have direct access to the inner city and several major transport hubs with a travel time of approximately 7 minutes from the terminus at Nordhavn C to Østerport – and approximately 14 minutes to Copenhagen Central Station.

"It is a great pleasure to be part of this project, where we are providing a strong interdisciplinary team that, together with Metroselskabet, MT Højgaard Danmark, and Cobe, will design and build more metro lines in Nordhavn, which will strengthen both mobility and future urban development. We look forward to working together and contributing our experience to this project, which will give even more citizens easy access to and from the district by public transport, thereby supporting the vision of the '5-minute city', which enables citizens to access public transport and the district's facilities within a 5-minute walk from anywhere in the district," says Ib Enevoldsen, CEO of Rambøll Denmark. 

"We are extremely proud to have the opportunity to continue our work on the metro in Nordhavn. After designing the first two stations – Nordhavn Station and Orientkaj Station – it is a great honor to now be able to continue working on the next two. The metro is a crucial piece of infrastructure for the entire development of Nordhavn. It connects the district more closely with the rest of Copenhagen and supports the vision of a district where it is easier to walk, cycle, or take public transport than to drive. The next two stations will be key to realizing the potential of Levantkaj and Nordhavn C and will write a new chapter in the history of Copenhagen's waterfront," says Cobe founder and architect Dan Stubbergaard. 

"The M4 extension is a project we are proud to be part of. Not only because it is large and complex—and the kind of thing you tell your children about—but because it is based on a form of collaboration we believe in. Early involvement gives us the opportunity to develop solutions together with Metroselskabet, Rambøll, COBE, and the rest of the team from day one. This not only gives us better solutions, it also gives us better collaboration, fewer surprises, and more value for all parties," says Christoffer Tarp, Area Director for Construction and Infrastructure at MT Højgaard Denmark.

Collaboration on concept design now begins

The project is now moving into a collaboration phase, in which Metroselskabet, together with MT Højgaard Danmark, Rambøll, and Cobe, will develop a concept design. Metroselskabet expects construction to begin in 2027, with the goal of opening the new stations to passengers in 2030. The development of the Metro and the entire Nordhavn district is a collaboration between the City of Copenhagen, By & Havn, and a number of other players to create the best conditions for active urban life and a good quality of life for citizens and visitors.  

The two new stations have been given the provisional names v/Levantkaj and v/Nordhavn C. V/Levantkaj will be located in the middle of a future residential and commercial area, which will also include Nordhavn's largest school. When the container terminal moves further out into Ydre Nordhavn in 2027, the southern quay will be transformed into an attractive harbor promenade. V/Nordhavn C will be located close to the green area of Nordhavnstippen and Tunnelfabrikken, where new businesses, workshops, restaurants, art, cultural and leisure activities, as well as youth housing, will be opened in the coming years.
