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.
 
We have previously applied for/notified you of our intention to carry out noisy work during nighttime hours from September 6, 2026, through September 18, 2026.

Since the work could not be completed within the period specified in the application, we hereby request an extension of the permit’s validity period.

The requested extension period and the scope of the associated work are shown in the table below.
 
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 is being performed at night out of consideration for Metro passengers, as this minimizes the disruption caused by the work.

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