Projects affecting these seaports right now
Lolland/Falster supply
The tunnel between Femarn and Rødby is currently under construction and is expected to open in 2029, and when that is finished, transport companies can cut more than 100 km off the route to serve Lolland and Falster from Southern Jutland.
At that time, also the transport time will be cut by an approximate hour since you will replace the ferry trip with driving through a tunnel.
