Sweco, will be responsible for delivering detailed alignment design,
full procurement strategy, programme logistics for construction sites,

Preparatory works are already underway on the DKr 10 billion ($US 1.8
million) project and full construction is expected to begin in the
second half of 2013. The line will open in 2018 with trains initially
running at up to 200km/h until the high-speed line is fully
commissioned.
The double-track line includes a new station at Køge North and will largely follow the existing highway.
