Metro Bridge – New airport shortcut

Terminal 3 is probably the busiest area in Co-penhagen Airport. One of the reasons is that around 25 percent of passengers arrive at the terminal by metro. Furthermore, according to the airport’s own calculations, more than two million of these passengers each year are just passing through the terminal. Many need to go to Terminal 2, whilst others have checked in at home and therefore head directly to security.

For a long time now, the airport has seen a steady rise in the number of passengers and with its numerous planned expansions, it will, in the future, be able to serve up to 40 million passengers annually. The metro bridge is one of many important new additions, set to improve flow and passenger orientation. The bridge, which is approximately 100 m long, has direct access from the Metro at the northern end of Terminal 3 and connects to the existing southern platform. From here, passengers can either go to security on the same level or head down to Terminal 2 on the ground floor. The bridge is designed to look simple and fit-for-purpose. It will be based on traditional Danish architecture, which has long been one of the airport’s key facets.
