In the period 2022-2024, the Danish Road Directorate and Sund & Bælt carried out a ‘Pre-investigation of a fixed link between Als and Funen’ with a view to providing a better basis for a political discussion and decision on the further course of the project. A summary report and various technical background reports and notes can be found on the project website: als-fyn.dk. This invitation to tender for an additional feasibility study for Route 8 on Funen should be seen in the context of the previous feasibility study, in which, at the request of the conciliation group behind the infrastructure agreement, a screening was also carried out for Route 8 on Funen from Faaborg to Kværndrup on the Svendborg motorway as an alternative route to Route 43 on Funen. In the present invitation to tender for a supplementary feasibility study, the consultant must examine and sketch out one or more routes that are assessed optimally between Faaborg and Kværndrup on the Svendborg motorway in and around Route 8, as the starting point is the upgrading of existing road sections with possible bypasses and the alignment of curves in order to be able to compare the possibilities with the route (Route 43) included in the ‘Examination of a fixed link between Als and Funen’ published in December 2024 (further referred to as the Preliminary Study). The consultant must provide professional models, drawings and technical descriptions, where the project is described in its entirety with reference to the preliminary study. Assessments of the exact location of the routes must be carried out taking into account local landscape conditions, neighbours, natural areas, Natura 2000 sites, settlements, cultural heritage, etc. As part of the description of the upgrade, a description of the expansion of the cycle path network on the section is also included, as is the overall analysis to describe public transport services by bus. A mapping of natural and environmental conditions is carried out on the basis of available knowledge and data on environmental and natural conditions in the survey corridor. In continuation of this, environmental assessments are carried out of the sketch project, and at an overall level, possible mitigation measures are identified in the form of fauna passages, the extent and location of the replacement nature and the design of these. Special attention must be paid to rivers in the area, and the environmental assessment must include an assessment of the impact of the upgrade in relation to environmental requirements and objectives for the area's surface water and groundwater bodies. Traffic analyses and capacity calculations shall be carried out. The calculations are supplemented by any other analyses that will help to qualify the traffic calculations. The calculations must describe the traffic effects on the adjacent road network on Funen, and be compared with the results from the feasibility study. In addition, the wider traffic effects in the sections across Storebælt and Lillebælt must also be described. Area and neighbourhood conditions are reviewed and mapped. Leads in the survey area are mapped overall. Archival checks are collected and an area budget is drawn up in which e.g. area conditions and expropriations are calculated in relation to the plant estimate. A calculation of the construction economic impact of the road system is carried out and a risk analysis is carried out for the project - both according to the principles of New Construction Budgeting. Finally, socio-economic analyses will be carried out to clarify whether an extension of the existing road section between Faaborg and Kværndrup with connection to the Svendborg motorway, as part of the overall project ‘Als-Fyn Forstudie’, will be a good investment for society. The result is analysed and compared with the result for the ‘Survey 2024’, which includes Route 43. The task starts at the end of summer 2025 and is expected to be completed by 1 June 2026. Please refer to the tender documentation, including the performance description, for a detailed description of the assignment. The estimated value in section 2.1.3. is an estimate.
