Øresund Bridge
Malmö – Copenhagen, Sweden
The Øresund Bridge connects Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark across the Øresund Strait, forming part of the Øresund fixed link which includes an 8 km-long cable-stayed bridge, a 4 km underwater tunnel, and a 4 km artificial island called Peberholm.
It carries both a four-lane motorway on the upper deck and a double-track railway on the lower deck, making it the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe. The bridge’s main span is 490 meters long, with pylons rising 203.5 meters high, the tallest structure in Sweden.
The tunnel section was chosen to protect Copenhagen Airport's radio signals and ensure clear shipping routes. Construction involved extensive prefabrication and innovative engineering, with large concrete caissons floated into place to support the structure. Opened in 2000, the Øresund Bridge significantly enhances transport and economic ties between Sweden and Denmark, serving around 35 million travelers annually.
