# Motorways

![Motorways](https://www.systra.com/denmark/wp-content/uploads/sites/26/2023/12/motorvejsbro_molleaen.jpg)

**The Danish motorways help connect the country across regions. Therefore, it is also important both to maintain them and, at times, to expand the existing network or build new ones.**

## planning, design, and widening

At SYSTRA, our experts have many years of experience providing consultancy
services across all stages of an infrastructure project. We work on everything
from the planning and design of new motorways to the widening of existing ones.
This also includes preliminary studies and concept design for motorway widening
projects, as well as all related services such as environmental assessments,
drainage, geotechnics, bridges and structures, interchanges, and climate
adaptation.

In addition, we work with noise reduction measures for motorway infrastructure,
for example in the form of noise barriers and motorway covering solutions. At
SYSTRA, we always use BIM processes and 3D CAD modelling to visualise our
solutions.

## Keeping track of road assets

Keeping track of all the assets located along the many kilometres of motorways
that wind through the country can be a major task. Asset management systems
enable infrastructure owners to register individual assets and plan their
maintenance activities.

For the Danish Road Directorate, SYSTRA develops and implements several
GIS-based asset management systems. These systems enable the Danish Road
Directorate to register its own traffic management systems, road surface
conditions and structures, and to carry out ongoing updates of the collected
infrastructure and maintenance data.

## Improved quality of life

SYSTRA carries out concept studies on the impact, economics and financing of
full motorway covering solutions. The aim is to reduce traffic noise and improve
the quality of life for people living near the motorways.

A lightweight covering solution also creates opportunities for installations
such as solar energy facilities, while a heavier covering structure can support
development above it. Both solutions can contribute fully or partly to the
financing of the project and create new uses for the areas above the motorways.
