22,4 billion. crowns or a little more than half Storebæltsbro.
It will, according to the Danish road directorate cost to build a bridge from Funen to the island of Als, which can make travelling between the two counties is considerably faster. The bridge is still far from being a reality, but the road directorate has made the calculation for the delivery of a previous COWI-analysis.
the Figure on the Directorate’s bottom line is higher than the 18,8 billion. crowns, as COWI reached in 2018. Nevertheless, concludes the authority, however, in its report, that the bridge will be ‘a win’ for the economy.
The typing of the Engineer.
– The socio-economic calculations show that the project will be a win for society with a net-present value of 11.4 billion. kr. The benefits of the project outweigh the costs, that is to among other things, the construction of the connection, writes the Danish road directorate in the report.
the Prize must most of all is that the new connection will make it significantly faster for the Danish drivers to run between the two counties, while the cost for the individual will also be lower. In addition air pollution, which according to the Danish road directorate will fall, if the current ferry services are halted and trucks gets fewer miles to run between A to B.
the Danish road directorate estimates that the 17,000 vehicles each day will pass the new bridge. Cars and vans pay 70 dollars for smutvejen in the equation, while trucks will need to get rid 290 dollars to run over.
Both the number of vehicles and the price is higher than in the COWI’s calculation, and keeps it, will the bridge according to the Danish road directorate to serve 560 million. crowns home the first year. Anyway, can the bridge not, however, earn themselves home, believe the authority. There is a need for a financial subsidy of 11.1 billion. crowns, if it is to be able to pay its bills.
the Danish road directorate have taken on the basis that the bridge will get a state-guaranteed loan to cost, which, like those of the øresund Bridge and great belt bridge, to be paid back over 40 years.
For those 22,4 billion. crowns get the danes according to the Engineer 11 kilometers bridge between Funen Sea on the island of Als and the Horne Country on the island of Fyn. In addition, 42 kilometres of highway and a further 13 kilometres of existing road to be expanded to handle the increased traffic.
The overall construction thus will create a fast connection between Sønderborg and Aarslev, south of Odense. Vd writes in his report that the bridge could save commuters nearly an hour between Padborg and Odense, and therefore, it will also create a part of the ‘new traffic’, predicts the authority.
– For example, the connection will potentially increase access to labor by about 134 percent of the companies in the Sønderborg Municipality, when workers from the island of Funen will have easier access to municipal companies, writes the Danish road directorate in the report.
the Idea for the bridge between Als and Funen, according to the Engineer created by the municipalities of Faaborg-Midtfyn and Sønderborg in 2017. The state has not yet made any studies of the possibilities to build the bridge, and it is unknown whether it will come in the near future.
