On Wednesday, November 30, 2016, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark visited the construction site of the new Marmorkirken metro station in Copenhagen.

According to the Metroselskabet press release during yesterday’s visit the future king of Denmark:

“…donned a helmet and safety equipment and took a ride down the chute 35 ft underground, after which he walked the almost 700 meters from its upcoming local metro station to the next stop at Kongens Nytorv in the recently drilled tunnel.

It is not the first time that the Crown Prince comes close to the metro project in Copenhagen. In 2007 he opened the new metro line to the airport and was on board when the first official metros drove from Kongens Nytorv directly to the airport in 14 minutes.”
