The bridge that comes from Sweden turns into a tunnel under the sea and reappears in Denmark; both countries united by this wonderful work of Engineering.
It has a total length of 16 kilometers and connects Denmark with Sweden through the Øresund Strait. The Oresund Bridge was built in 2000 and allows the passage of cars (highway) and trains between Denmark and Sweden. Before its construction, all traffic between the two countries was carried out by ferry.(Las huellas del pasado quote)
André Hintermann shared
Charles Olson: Fun fact: the transition from bridge to tunnel was originally planned to be built on a nearby island named Saltholm (Salt Island). For environmental reasons they decided to build an artificial island instead, and named it... Peberholm (Pepper Island).
James Simms: On the Copenhagen side, work was delayed as engineers & construction workers discovered numerous bombs fromWW2.
KevandSus Dickman: One way is about $55. If you have a season pass it's about $23 one way.

 The Öresund Bridge is a combined bridge and tunnel system that connects the Swedish city of Malmö to the Danish capital, Copenhagen. It is an impressive engineering marvel that spans across the Öresund Strait, connecting the two countries. The bridge is approximately 8 kilometers long and includes a 4-kilometer underwater tunnel. The Öresund Bridge serves as a vital transport link, facilitating both road and rail traffic. It has greatly improved connectivity and accessibility between Sweden and Denmark, making it easier for people to commute and travel between the two countries. The bridge has also had a positive impact on trade and tourism in the region.

"Cable-stayed bridge with harp system"


I believe the type of "immersed tunnel" means that it is cut&fill like the Germany-Denmark Bridge rather than dug with a tunnel boring machine.
