MT Højgaard Danmark Section head Niels Holm Mikkelsen said: “The new Kong Frederik IX’s bridge is an important project. The relationship with developer Banedanmark and the completion of a strategic infrastructure project like this mean a lot to us.

“We will apply our professional competencies and resources within marine construction, concrete and foundation works, steel bridges and earthworks.

“The assignment is a milestone that allows us to showcase our competencies in the wider Danish civil works market.”

The company will collaborate with advisers regarding the project design for the bridge until April next year.

Then, the construction phase of the project will begin and continue till the second quarter of 2026.

A production site for concrete elements and a work harbour will be established near the bridge during the project.

In 2019, Banedanmark awarded Fugro a four-year framework agreement to provide train-borne lidar scanning technology for digital survey of the Danish railway network.
