A cable-stayed bridge spans about 8 kilometers, ending on an artificial island where it turns into a tunnel that is still 4 kilometers long.The award-winning two-way railway and freeway started operating on July 1, 2000.
The Oresund or Eresund Bridge was designed by the Danish company COWI and the main architect was George K.S. Rotne.
The bridge and tunnel cross the Oresund Strait and are managed in cooperation by both countries. The use of the bridge requires the payment of tolls.The cable-stayed bridge has two 204-meter-high pillars that support the opening of the 490-meter-long bridge over the Flinte Canal.The motorway is on the upper level, while the railway passes below.Most of the parts of the bridge were built on land and transported to the site by large floating cranes.Only the pillars were built on site.
This amazing bridge turns into a tunnel and connects Denmark with Sweden
About 2/3 of the people traveling via the Øresund Bridge choose the train and the journey from Copenhagen to Malm. Takes about 35 minutes.
Thanks to σύνδεσηresund's connection, an area of 3.7 million people has been created that allows people to live and work on either side.
