Nørreport Station to get new Metro entrance

Businesses from Kultorvet square to Nørreport can expect some noise and construction discomfort for the next few years

Some of the foot traffic surrounding one of Denmark’s busiest traffic hubs is set to be alleviated with the construction of a new underground Metro entrance. 

The Metro entrance comes as part of the current ‘Ny Nørreport’ renovation of Nørreport Station and will be located on the corner of Nørre Voldgade and Frederiksborggade, between Danske Bank and Nordea Bank. The new entrance is set to be finished by 2015 and is expected to assist the roughly 250,000 people who use Nørreport Station every day.

“In the future, it will be quicker and easier to use the public transportation at Denmark’s busiest station,” Jesper Christensen, deputy chairman of Metroselskabet, said in a press release. “The new Metro entrance provides direct access from the walking street to the benefit of the thousands who work and move about central Copenhagen.”

The top of the entrance will have standard stairs, while the bottom will be equipped with escalators. Today, there is no direct access to the so-called transfer tunnel at Nørreport Station, it can only be reached via the Metro station or from the S-train entrances.

“The new entrance will compliment the Ny Nørreport project, give it an essential facelift, and increase the accessibility at the most populated station,” Niels Henrik Andersen, a project manager from Banedanmark, said in the press release.

Construction on the entrance will commence next month and will generate some nuisance and discomfort for businesses located between Kultorvet square and Nørreport Station.

“We know that there has been construction in the area for an extended period of time and that we are testing the patience of businesses and neighbours to the project,” Andersen said. “Therefore, we will initiate dialogue with the neighbours and keep them well informed about the construction.”
