Sønder Allé, a central street in Aarhus, Denmark, is scheduled to reopen to traffic late this afternoon after being closed for over 10 months. The closure was caused by construction work related to the partially collapsed building known as Søndre Palæ, which led to containers blocking parts of the street to secure the work zone. The removal of these containers indicates that the project is nearing completion, allowing normal traffic flow to resume.

Palle Ankerstjerne, the project manager from JDN Byg, has announced that the reopening will take place sometime between 4 PM and 6 PM today. He noted that the final steps involve cleanup and the temporary covering of windows with panels to secure the building. Initial plans had indicated that the street would be closed for the remainder of the week, but the work has progressed more quickly than anticipated, allowing for an earlier reopening.

The reopening of Sønder Allé is significant for both local businesses and residents who have been affected by the long-term closure. With the street finally open, there is hope for revitalization in the area and a return to normalcy, allowing for easier access and potentially boosting economic activity as commuters and visitors return to the site.
