One-way traffic and angled parking on Kongevejen

On Wednesday 19 August 2026, By- og Planudvalget adopted the recommendation for one-way traffic on Kongevejen in a southerly direction and permanent angled parking on the northern section.

"A majority in the udvalg (committee) could adopt it" (translated from Danish) (Aarhus Kommune – dagsorden · item)

The majority adopted the recommendation in accordance with the recommendation from the Magistrat (municipal executive). Kristian Sommer, Anette Poulsen, Gert Bjerregaard and Jakob Søgaard Clausen could adopt the recommendation. Isabella Heilmann entered a reservation. Liv Gro Jensen and Albert Rosenkrantz Conradsen could not adopt the recommendation.

The recommendation allocates DKK 7.5 million from the construction reserve for Grøn Mobilitetsplan 2024-2034 for one-way traffic on Kongevejen and the establishment of approximately 66 permanent angled parking spaces on the western side of the road on the northern section, from Skovbrynet to Havreballe Skovvej. The funds are proposed to be allocated to K.B. Sikkerhed og Miljø.

The measure is intended to improve traffic flow and parking capacity in Kongelunden, especially ahead of the stadium opening in 2027. The solution is a partial implementation of a larger project, adapted to the current financial framework, and will be carried out in coordination with already planned and ongoing utility works. Teknik og Miljø will begin construction work in late summer 2026.
