The proposed engineering and architectural design for the M5 design consists of 10 stations running from Copenhagen Central Station via Islands Brygge, Amagerbrogade and Refshaleøen all the way to Lynetteholm and Østerport, as well as a bifurcation chamber to prepare for a potential Øresund metro line. The infrastructure will also safeguard a possible future extension of the line to close the ring between Østerport and Copenhagen Central.
The EIA will consider all relevant environmental aspects of the chosen alignment, stations, and reasonable alternatives, advising on utility relocation and the design of civil works. Once the concept design is completed, the team will develop the reference design and follow the project through the procurement process alongside Metroselskabet.
The new M5 metro line will serve existing areas of the capital as well as new districts, also helping to relieve congestion on the M1/M2 harbour crossing and provide sustainable mobility connection into the emerging urban districts of Kløverparken, Refshaleøen and Lynetteholm.
Arup will leverage our experience in the planning and design of complex metro infrastructure projects such as Copenhagen's Cityringen and Orientkaj and Nordhavn metro stations to support the delivery of the low carbon M5 metro line.
