The Oeresund Bridge by Jan Kofoed Winther-VisitDenmark Great Belt Bridge by Cees van Roeden-Visit Denmark

The Oresund Bridge (Denmark & Sweden bridge)

Great Belt Bridge by Cees van Roeden-Visit Denmark

Oresund Bridge was opened July 1st 2000 - its 8 km ( appx 5 miles ) and stretches between Denmark and Sweden. Its a dual carriageway bridge-tunnel that also has fast train services connecting the European route E 20 and is a bridge with increasing opportunities for traffic between the Nordics and mainland Europe. It was designed by a Danish company called Dissing&Weitling.

It was a complex and expensive build due to digging a tunnel for part of the bridge, to prevent interruption to Copenhagen Airport in Kastrup but they managed successfully to build the bridge. Its become a kind of a Landmark for the two countries and symbolic importance for the Nordic region as it as increased the speed to get between the countries. In the past there were several ferries trafficking cars etc between the countries, both from Copenhagen but also from Elsinore ( Kronborg Castle ). There is normally no passport inspections due to the Schengen Agreement and the Nordic countries having a special Union.

In 2002 The Oresund Bridge got the 2002 IABSE Outstanding Structure Award.
