The Government and The City of Copenhagen have just reached a political agreement to construct the new 15.7km M5 metro line project in Copenhagen, with nine stations (underground and elevated) between Copenhagen Central Station and Lynetteholm across Amager. The M5 will add an extra connection across the harbour.
The line is expected to open in two stages. The first stage is expected to be approx. 6 km bored twin tunnel with 5 underground stations, approx. 2 km viaducts and 1 elevated station. For the Civil works the project includes construction of tunnels, underground stations and shafts, mechanical and electrical works, elevated sections and stations, ramps, architectural finishes etc. For the transportation system the project includes rolling stock, scada, signalling, passenger information system, power supply, control and maintenance center etc. The first stage is expected to be inaugurated in 2036. Following the adoption of the construction act Metroselskabet expects the procurement process to start in 2026.
The second stage is assumed to be inaugurated in 2045 and will be procured in separate contracts.
Metroselskabet has set the following 4 project goals for the project:
• Reduce the use of resources and climate impact.
• Improve passenger experience and operational robustness.
• Improve safety and the working environment.
• A contribution to the city., creating urban space quality and leaving space for increased urban biodiversity.
