Nørre Voldgade

Nørre Voldgade

Nørre Voldgade (lit. English: North Rampart Street) is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs north-east from Jarmers Plads for approximately 600 metres to Gothersgade where it turns into Øster Voldgade. The succession of Nørre Voldgade, Øster Voldgade and Vester Voldgade together forms a traffic artery which arches around the Zealand side of the central and oldest part of Copenhagen. Nørreport Station, Denmark's busiest railway station, is located in the street.

History

Nørre Voldgade was originally a narrow alley which ran along the city-side margin of the West Rampart in Copenhagen's Bastioned Fortification Ring. After the fortifications were decommissioned in 1867, the street was expanded into a broad boulevard.

Current reconstruction

The street is currently undergoing redevelopment in connection with a renovation of Nørreport Station. When the redevelopment is completed in 2014, car traffic will use two lanes on the northern side of the station while the area closest to the city centre will be used for other purposes.[1]
