The six platforms are built on each side of an eight-lane motorway (two S-train platforms to the east; the main line platforms to the west) and are connected by a 225-metre pedestrian bridge.[10][11] The high-speed line between Copenhagen South and Ringsted is completed,[12] but adjustments are needed at Ringsted station before trains can start running at 250 km/h.[13] S-trains and a limited regional service began using Køge Nord the day after its inauguration.[14] Intercity services started in December 2019.[15]
Current members of Toldy Construct[16] team also contributed to this project. They helped to realize specialised construction and design elements of the facade and roof.
The station was chosen as a world selection for the 2020 edition of the Prix Versailles in the passenger stations category, and won the special prize exterior.[17]
