A new link across Roskilde Fjord will bring Hornsherred and Frederikssund closer to the Greater Copenhagen Area. This will make it easier and faster for the many daily commuters from Hornsherred to get to the Danish capital. And they will no longer have to pass through Frederikssund, thereby avoiding the problematic bottleneck at the Crown Prince Frederik Bridge.
The construction of the new Roskilde Fjord Link has been split into three separate contracts: The Access road Eastern side: An access road has been constructed between Frederikssundsvej and Marbækvej. It is approximately 1.4 km long. This contract was executed by Barslund A/S between April and October 2016. Expressway and high bridge: Approximately 8.4 km of expressway from Skibbyvej to Marbækvej, including a 1.4 km bridge across Roskilde Fjord is to be constructed. This project was put out to tender as a turnkey contract and awarded to a large European Joint Venture comprising Rizzani de Eccher (Italy), Besix (Belgium) and Acciona Infraestructuras (Spain). The construction phase commensed at the end of 2016 and will continue until 2019. The expressway section passing through Tørslev Hage will be placed in a cut section between sheet piling walls. Frederikssundsvej Interchange: This is the final part of the project. It is expected to be put out to tender later in 2017, with the construction taking place 2018-2019.
