Borups Allé

Borups Allé is a major artery in the northwestern part of inner Copenhagen, Denmark. The 3.2 km long street runs from Jagtvej at Nuuks Plads in the southeast to Bellahøj in the northwest. Just before Hulgårdsvej, part of Ring 2, Borups Allé is joined by Bispeengbuen, an elevated road section that connects it to Åboulevard-Ågade and H. C. Andersens Boulevard in the city centre. The rest of Borups Allé is the first leg of the National Road 16, part of the Danish national road network. It continues as a six-lane road to Frederikssundsvej where it becomes Hareskovvej and later the Hillerød Motorway at Utterslev Mose.

Borups Allé is the direct continuation of Rantzausgade. The initial part of the street passes below the elevated Bispeengbuen viaduct and Ringbanen S-train line. The former is located on the border between Copenhagen's Nørrebro district and Frederiksberg Municipality. Borups Allé No. 105-143 and 102-156 are located in Frederiksberg. The street then passes through Nordvest on its way to Bellahøj in Brønshøj where it turns into Hareskovvej after Frederikssundsvej and shortly thereafter the Hillerød Motorway at Utterslev Mose.

Construction of the road began in 1902. It received its current name following the Conservative politician Ludvig Christian Borup's unexpected death on 18 January 1903, just one week after he had participated in the inauguration of the new Copenhagen City Hall. He had served as Mayor of Finances (Finansborgmester) since 1884. The new name was officially adopted by Copenhagen City Council on 21 December 1903 and by Frederiksberg Municipal Council on 14 December 1903.
