Double-Lane Cycle Path Now Completed Along Stensmosevej in Albertslund
Albertslund Municipality in Denmark has officially opened a new double-lane cycle path along Stensmosevej, boosting safety and convenience for cyclists and pedestrians. The bidirectional infrastructure replaces narrower paths, reducing conflicts with motor traffic and promoting sustainable commuting. This project aligns with Denmark’s push for world-class cycling networks.
Background
The initiative was first announced in early 2025 (local week 2025-26), following planning from the previous year when construction began on the double-lane (dobbeltrettet) cycle path. Stensmosevej, a key local route, previously lacked sufficient separated cycling facilities, leading to shared spaces with vehicles and pedestrians. The completion, highlighted by the municipality’s official news and social media, marks a significant upgrade in Albertslund’s cycling infrastructure. This suburban area near Copenhagen is renowned for its progressive urban planning, with investments in bike paths supporting daily commutes and recreational riding.
Future Outlook
This project is part of Albertslund’s ongoing commitment to sustainable transportation, potentially paving the way for further expansions in the local network. Officials anticipate increased cycling modal share, reduced car dependency, and enhanced connectivity to nearby green spaces and residential areas. Similar initiatives across Denmark aim to make 80% of trips by bike or public transport feasible in urban zones by 2030, with Albertslund leading as a model for bike-friendly suburbs.
