Entrance will be made down an inlet with a slight incline, Some basements already in existence will be utilised and the equipment will be fully up to date. The tunnel is especially intended for people living in the provinces, who can go by car to Copenhagen and hand over the car to the hall-porter." who will be responsible for its being stored and
