The Danish Road Directorate has now - after a pre-qualification - selected the four contractors who will have the opportunity to bid on the task of building the Nordhavn tunnel in Copenhagen, which will connect Østerbro with Nordhavn.   

The four pre-qualified consortia are: 

1. Acciona Costruccion SA with support from CG Jensen A/S, Sweco Danmark A/S and Sweco Infra & Rail OY. 
2. NV Besix SA- MT Højgaard Danmark A /S joint venture with support from NIRAS A/S, Jacobs Sverige AB and Bravida Danmark A/S. 
3. Per Aarsleff A / S- Vinci Construction Grands Projets- Hochtief Infrastructure  Gmbh Joint Venture with support from Cowi A/S and Wicotec Kirkebjerg A/S. 
4. Zublin A/S- MJ Eriksson Joint Venture with support from Strabag SE, Ed. Zublin AG, Zublin Spezialtiefbau GmbH, Zublin Scandinavia AB and Strabag Infrastructure & Safety Solutions GmbH. 

The pre-qualified participants have to submit an initial offer no later than 24 June 2022. The Danish Road Directorate can then choose to enter into a construction contract based on the initial offers or choose to start negotiation meetings with the contractors if the received offers do not meet expectations on price and quality.  

If the contract is entered into based on an initial offer the project is expected to reach agreement in the summer of 2022. If there is a negotiation process, it is expected that an agreement can be entered into in early 2023.  

It is expected that the Nordhavn tunnel will be open to traffic in 2027. For further information please click dk/22 for tunnelbuilder archive and visit https://www.vejdirektoratet.dk. 08/22.
