Fjord link Frederikssund
The Fjord link Frederikssund makes it easier and faster to travel from the southern part of Hornsherred to Frederikssund as well as Copenhagen and North Zealand. Sund & Bælt Partner carried out an analysis of how much to charge drivers using the bridge.
Did you know that the high bridge acquired the name Kronprinsesse Marys bridge as a result of a naming competition among the inhabitants of Frederikssund.
About the bridge
The link ensures that motorists can cross the bridge easily and safely. At the same time, the bridge serves to relieve a large proportion of the traffic on Kronprins Frederiks Bridge because traffic has increased by 30 per cent since 1995.
The Fjord link is an almost 10 km long, 4-lane motorway south of Frederikssund, which includes an approx. 1.4 km long high bridge between Marbæk and Tørslev Hage. The high bridge is named Kronprinsesse Marys Bridge.
The project was split into three contracts:
- An approx. 1.5 km motorway between Frederikssundsvej and Marbækvej.
- An approx. 8.4 km motorway between Skibbyvej and Marbækvej and a 1.4 km long high bridge across Roskilde Fjord and an approx. 1km road connecting Lyngerupvej.
- An approach system at Frederikssundsvej.
What has Sund & Bælt Partner brought to the project?
Sund & Bælt Partner calculated customers’ willingness to pay, which was carried out in tandem with the financial calculations. This was the starting point for calculating the repayment period for the Fjord link. Moreover, Sund & Bælt Partner was tasked with ascertaining how willing potential users are to pay to cross the bridge as well as charging and discount options.
Sund & Bælt Partner was also responsible for preparing a paper on how long it would take to build the link and come up with recommendations as to how the project was to be executed.
