Nørreport revival planned

Planning work has started on a major upgrade of Denmark's busiest station. Nørreport, the sub-surface station in the centre of Copenhagen (and a busy interchange with the Metro and buses), has long needed attention caused by the deterioration of the 100-year-old tunnel roof, and finally the city authorities are taking the opportunity to completely replan the area.

The station today entrance is currently situated in the middle of a busy road and the plan is to reroute the road to the north of the station creating a large pedestrian area between the station and the mediaeval town. New ticket offices and bicycle parking facilities will be built when the work on the renewal of the station roof is complete.

The entire project is due to be completed in 2014.
