Øresundsbroen

The Øresund Bridge (Øresundsbroen), which opened up for traffic in July 2000 is unique since it connects two countries, Denmark and Sweden.  For more than a houndred years the two countries planned a fixed link between Malmø and Copenhagen but one obstacle after another stopped the plans, until now. The bridge is a combined bridge and tunnel and one of the largest constructions in Europe with its 8 kilometre bridge, 4 kilometres artificially made island, called Pepparholmen, and a 4 kilometres long tunnel.
