The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €200 million loan agreement with A/S Femern Landanlaeg, which is managing the Danish contribution to building of the “Fehmarn Belt” railway connection between southern Denmark and Hamburg in Germany.
The loan is guaranteed by the Danish state. The project concerns some 80km of railway between Ringsted and Nykøbing Falster, where the existing tracks will be modernised and a second track will be built.
The financing also covers bridge works on the 40km stretch between Nykøbing Falster and Rødby, which serve to prepare the Danish rail network for the Fehmarn Belt tunnel opening.
