The Danish Road Directorate shall perform as the client on behalf of Copenhagen Municipality for construction of the Nordhavnstunnel (in the following called ‘the Project’). The Project entails the construction of a tunnel across the Svanemølle bay in continuation of the Nordhavnsvej-tunnel and the construction of a replacement harbour in Færgehavn Nord. It is decided that the tunnel shall be established as the long tunnel option from Nordhavnsvej to Kattegatvej’s extension, with preparation for a possible future Østlig Ringvej (eastern ringroad). The basis for the technical solution is described in the Environmental Impact Statement and its appendices (https://www.vejdirektoratet.dk/side/dokumenter-33) and is expected to be constructed in accordance with the ‘Proposal for law for construction of Nordhavnstunnel’, which can be found on the public hearing portal Høringsportalen (https://hoeringsportalen.dk/Hearing/Details/63140).

The scope of services covers the consultancy for multidisciplinary design, tender, evaluation, designer’s representative, possible site supervision, commissioning and handover of the Project. It is expected that the replacement harbour Færgehavn Nord will be carried out as a detail design and a traditional contract and that the Nordhavnstunnel will be carried out as an illustrative design and a design and build contract. The main consultant shall be capable of producing deliverables and tender documents on Danish and English.
