New Freight Line

Published 12/06/2007Updated 07/08/2026Original: , AI TranslatedHistory

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 Grenå Line directly to the main line, in conjunction with the Djursland Motorway.
As part of the town planning for Lisbjerg, an area has been set aside for such a route.

The freight railway is also described in the 2005 Light Rail Report. The cost is estimated in this report at approximately 250 million excluding VAT.
