Denmark’s transport minister Magnus Heunicke officially launched preliminary construction project to rebuild the 115km Ringsted – Holeby line.

The value of the project is DKr 9.3bn ($US 1.64bn) and will become the main rail link between Scandinavia and Germany when the 18km Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link opens in 2021.
The project involves upgrading the line, construction of a second track on the section between Vordingborg and Holeby, rebuilding of 100 bridges, electrification, and refurbishment of stations. In addition the line will be equipped with ERTMS and a 4km deviation will be constructed north of Glumsø to eliminate sharp curves on this section.
Major construction is expected to begin on the project next year.
