Noisy work activities

Posted: 25. marts 2025Reading time: 5 min.
We regularly carry out track work during the evening and night hours. We do this to ensure that the Metro is safe and stable to travel on. We always endeavour to carry out the work tasks with the least possible noise disturbance.

Metro Service A/S is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the existing Metro system.

This is a request for approval and notification regarding the performance of noisy work during nighttime hours
from November 8, 2026, through November 13, 2026.
 
The work is being carried out as part of routine maintenance to comply with legal requirements regarding the Metro’s rail and operational safety.

The work will be performed at night out of consideration for Metro passengers, as this minimizes any related service disruptions.

About Noise Disturbances

Noise disturbances may occur, as the work involves the removal of vegetation and is carried out using electric and/or gasoline-powered brush cutters.

Noise disturbances may occur, and therefore neighbors will be notified as usual via the Metro’s website. The Metro strives to carry out the noisy work with as little disruption as possible, but apologizes for any inconvenience the work may nevertheless cause. 
 
During the specified time periods, as well as immediately before and after them, diesel-powered work vehicles will be traveling to and from the site. A detailed description of the work tasks is provided in the table below.
