- Relocation of Viborgvej
In 1990, the Folketing passed the “Act on Certain Sections of Main Roads”, which authorised the Minister for Transport to plan an upgrade of Route 26 between Aarhus and Hanstholm. In 2006, a report was published containing a number of proposals, including one to reroute the section between the E45 and Svenstrup. The…
- Aarhus Light Rail
The light rail is Aarhus Municipality’s vision for the future of public transport infrastructure. It is the largest investment in public transport in the city’s history, and the project will bring the tracks back to Aarhus Sporveje. The grand vision includes routes to most of the towns in the Aarhus Municipality…
- Road bridge over the Grenå railway line on Grenåvej
The level crossing between the Grenå railway line and Grenåvej is one of the busiest level crossings in the country. There has therefore long been a desire to construct a grade-separated junction between the two, and Aarhus County consequently carried out an EIA in 2005. After some back-and-forth, the State and the…
- Bus lanes on Randersvej
The first step towards light rail on Nørrebrogade and Randersvej is giving priority to buses. As part of the project, the necessary space will be made available, initially for bus lanes and later for light rail tracks. In order to widen the road, it will be necessary to demolish the row of terraced houses on the…
- New non-food warehouse for Dansk Supermarked near Årslev
Dansk Supermarked has purchased a plot of land covering almost 50 hectares adjacent to the future transport centre at Årslev. The site is to be used for a new non-food warehouse, as the facilities in Holme and Skejby have become too cramped. A local plan for the area is to be drawn up, after which development is to…
- Redevelopment of the Nørreport junction
The Nørreport junction is being redeveloped as part of the plan for the urban harbour areas. The redevelopment is scheduled to begin immediately after Container Terminal North has been vacated, sometime in September 2007. One of the first measures to be taken will be the closure of access to Nordhavnsvej. This means…
- New Freight Line
If, at some point, there is a desire to remove freight traffic from the current Grenå Line – thereby allowing the section through the city of Aarhus to be reclassified as a light rail line – this will require an alternative rail link to Grenå Harbour. It is planned to construct this rail link, which will connect the…
- Expansion of the Oil Harbour
The Master Plan for the Port of Aarhus provides for an expansion of the Oil Harbour. The expansion will create a long, unbroken quay facing the basin and provide many more square metres of space. There is currently no timetable for the implementation of the expansion. If it does go ahead, it will likely be one of the…
- Relocation of Sletvej
In Aarhus City Council’s ‘Billion-kroner Agreement’ of May 2007, funds were allocated for the realignment of Sletvej. Sletvej is a relatively narrow road connecting Chr. Xs vej with Skanderborgvej. Towards Chr. Xs vej, the road runs close to the village of Slet, but the section towards Skanderborgvej is primarily…
- New Ferry Terminal
The original Master Plan for the Port of Aarhus set out two alternatives: a container port in the east and a ferry port in the north, or a new urban district in the north with all port activities in the east. As is well known, option 2 was chosen, and in connection with this, a development option was added to enable…
- Motorway slip roads from Ringvej Syd
The 1999 infrastructure report recommends the construction of slip roads from Ravnsbjergvej onto the Aarhus South Motorway. The slip roads will make it possible to access Ringvej Syd directly from the motorway, thereby relieving traffic congestion at Viby Torv. The cost of the extension is estimated at 28 million.…
- New transport hub at Årslev
It has been decided to establish a transport centre in the triangle north-east of the motorway junction west of Aarhus. The transport centre is to be used, amongst others, by Danske Vognmænd, which will thereby be able to vacate the sites on Søren Frichs Vej. The areas around Søren Frichsvej have been designated as a…
- Søften–Skødstrup Motorway
The Søften–Skødstrup motorway is to link the Djursland Motorway to the E45. At the same time, traffic flow on Randersvej towards the two motorways is to be improved.
- The Beder–Bering Country Road
It has been decided that a high-standard road is to be built from Bering to Beder. The road is intended to ensure traffic flow to the southern development areas and will complete the ring road network around Aarhus. Discussions about the road have ebbed and flowed for a number of years, but returned to the agenda in…
- Tunnel beneath Marselis Boulevard
The tunnel beneath Marselis Boulevard has been on the drawing board for over 10 years, and it is still uncertain whether it will ever be built. The tunnel is intended to provide a direct link between the harbour and the motorway, and is also intended to improve traffic flow and reduce air pollution in the area. The…
- Master plan for the area around the bus station
It has long been recognised that the current coach station has a number of drawbacks. The coach station is too small for all long-distance coaches to depart from here; consequently, some tourist coaches and, previously, the coach to Copenhagen have had to use the Musikhuset. At the same time, the location of the coach…
- Værkmestergade
Værkmestergade has had a turbulent history over the past few years, but the project is now coming to fruition. The concept of an urban thoroughfare through the railway land is an old one, but the idea was finalised in connection with the sale of the site for the future Bruuns Galleri. In this context, an agreement was…
- Redevelopment of Frederiks Allé
Frederiks Allé is to be rebuilt during 2007 as part of the Frederiksbjerg Transport Plan. The aim of the redevelopment is partly to ensure better accessibility for buses and partly to establish cycle paths along the entire stretch. In addition, the plan is to extend the square at Lundings Torv across the road by…
- New harbour track
The East Harbour in Aarhus is currently served by a railway line running between Havnehuset and Filmbyen. The track has a very small turning radius, which means it cannot be used by all the rolling stock normally employed in freight transport across Europe. The narrow track means that freight wagons have to be shunted…
- Redevelopment of Vesterbro Torv
Aarhus Municipality’s transport plan, ‘Roads to the Future 2020’, includes a redevelopment of Vesterbro Torv. The redevelopment is part of a traffic calming scheme on Langelandsgade, which aims to divert more traffic to Ringgaden. As part of the redevelopment, car traffic will be moved to the south side, whilst the…
