New substation at Færgevej
At Færgevej/Strandholmsvej intersection, a new transformer station will be built to supply the Fehmarnbelt tunnel with green power.
The work causes a lot of heavy traffic in the area to and from the construction site.
The transformer station's construction site is surrounded by a large retaining wall - also called a sheet pile - which secures the finished facility against flooding.
Construction of the substation itself began in 2023.
The transformer station will be one of the largest installations of its kind in Denmark and will distribute power to both the Fehmarnbelt tunnel's railway and installations as well as the railway north of the tunnel to Holeby on Lolland.
Two new bridges are being built at Færgevej
The Fehmarnbelt project's contractor is in the process of building the two new bridges at Rødbyhavn, which will carry Færgevej over the motorway and the railway to the Fehmarnbelt tunnel. From the current rerouted Færgevej, the work can be followed behind the construction fence.
The work is not expected to cause any inconvenience to local traffic or work noise in the area. The bridges are expected to be completed in early 2025.
The bridge over the motorway will be approx. 60 meters long and the bridge over the railway will be approx. 20 meters long.
The bridges are being built for a road course with a carriageway in each direction and cycle path along the northern carriageway.
The establishment of the future ramps in connection with the two bridges has also started. The ramps rise to a height of about 5 meters above the current terrain.
Bridges and ramps are expected to be completed in 2025.
The total plant - i.e. the new section of Færgevej and the bridges - will be opened to traffic at a later date.
New viewpoint at Gl. Badevej
A new view point close to the construction of the Fehmarnbelt tunnel at Rødbyhavn will give guests and neighbors near the construction site a better opportunity to follow the project up close. The new viewpoint is expected to be completed in 2025.
The viewpoint is being built by Sund & Bælt and will be named "Pilen". It will take the form of a pointed ramp that extends 217 meters beyond the dammed area and points in the direction of Germany. At the highest point, you will be 24 meters above the water. From here there will be a very special view of the construction site, the tunnel factory and the local area.
"Pilen" will be placed at the end of Gl. Badevej close to the place where the tunnel begins, and in the future train and car traffic will run down the 18 kilometer long tunnel to Puttgarden. This replaces the existing platform built in wood, which with its limited height no longer provides a good overview of the construction.
Noise measurements
Femern A/S has set up sound level meters in pre-selected locations in the area to be able to document the noise from the work. The results of the noise measurements are regularly published on Femern A/S' environmental portal, Ægir.
Noise management plan
The current noise management plans for the project are on Femern A/S' environmental portal, Ægir.
The noise management plan contains information on noisy construction activities and the measures that are implemented to manage them.
The noise management plan is revised on an ongoing basis: when the project enters a new phase or in instances of other changes that have an impact on the noise environment.
The contractors’ planning forms the basis for the noise management plan's section on anticipated noise.
In consequence, it is also the contractors’ responsibility to ensure that the authorities' requirements are complied with.
All information about the anticipated and actual noise is assessed on an ongoing basis by Femern A/S.
