At SYSTRA Denmark, we are proud, together with Vanovis, to have been selected as advisors on land and rights matters related to the upcoming M4 metro extension to Outer Nordhavn.

The contract for land and rights for the upcoming extension of metro line M4 to Outer Nordhavn is being signed.

We are involved in all lines of the Copenhagen Metro

We have had the pleasure of contributing to all lines of the Copenhagen Metro — including M4 to Nordhavn, where we assessed the alignment to Orientkaj. Now, we look forward to creating even better public transport solutions together with Metroselskabet and Vanovis.

The metro extension to Outer Nordhavn consists of 1.6 km of elevated railway with two new stations — Levantkaj and Nordsø Plads.

As advisors, SYSTRA will, among other tasks, plan and execute land transfers, prepare easements, and conduct dialogue and agreements with landowners to ensure the best possible conditions for both the construction and operation of the metro.

About the extension of metro line M4

  • The extension of M4 includes two new stations, Levantkaj and Nordsø Plads. These two stations continue the line from Orientkaj and are planned as a 1.6 km elevated section.
  • Once the stations are completed, passengers to and from Outer Nordhavn will have direct access to the inner city districts and several major transport hubs, with a travel time of approximately 7 minutes from Nordsø Plads to Østerport — and about 14 minutes to Copenhagen Central Station.
  • The expansion will be a key element in Copenhagen’s largest urban development area, where Nordhavn is expected to accommodate up to 40,000 residents as well as workplaces and cultural activities towards 2070.
  • M4 to the stations Nordhavn and Orientkaj opened in March 2020 as a branch of the M3 Cityringen, providing new, fast connections between Nordhavn and other parts of the city.
