The breakthrough of tunnel boring machines Eva and Minerva into the station box will link the rail network and the new metro line located approximately 30m underneath the station.

Copenhagen mayor Frank Jensen said: "The Copenhagen H station is the large traffic centre which connects the capital to the rest of Denmark.

"The future metro station will therefore not only benefit the residents of Copenhagen but also all those who use Copenhagen H as an entry to the city."

The kr21.3bn ($3.23bn) Cityringen project will see the construction of two 17.4km tunnels and 17 new stations, forming a new circular line in the city centre.

After completion in 2019, the fully automated driverless metro system will operate 24h a day, with a minimum frequency of 100s, serving approximately 130 million metro passengers a year.
