It begins at Langebro Bridge and initially follows Stadsgraven east to a Y-junction from where it continues inland to Amagerbrogade while the street Ved Stadsgraven continues along the water to the Christmas Møllers Plads.

Amager's shoreline was then located approximately where Artillerivej runs today.

The southernmost portion of Christianshavns Enveloppe was removed and the area reclaimed and New Arsenal (Ny Tøjhus) was inaugurated in 1888.

When the new Langebro was constructed in 1954, Amager Boulevard was connected directly to it by a ramp.

The Royal Mint moved to Vrøndby in 1975 and the building is now owned by Mikael Goldschmidt Ejendomme and has been converted into youth housing.

118, a residential building called Møllegården, is also from 1923 and was designed by Povl Baumann.
