The amount, which comes on top of the DKK 4 million earmarked for planning work on the project in this year’s council budget, will be spent on creating a sketch project, cost assessment and a general needs assessment.
According to the original tunnel proposal, approved in May 2019, the tunnel will be about a kilometre in length and will have space for 700 cars.
