With higher noise barriers or the covering of the motorways, the Danish Road Directorate and municipalities can reduce the harmful noise from the largest and busiest roads. SYSTRA has conducted studies for municipalities such as Høje-Taastrup and Hvidovre on the effect of a shielding structure over the Holbæk and Amager motorways. Solar panels can be installed on the shielding, providing power to more than 1,300 houses.
The magazine ‘Kommuner i vækst’ – which focuses on sustainable and eco-friendly solutions – has published an article about SYSTRA’s study of shielding structures over the Holbæk and Amager motorways. You can read it below.
