Sallingsund Bridge, Road bridge in Jutland, Denmark
Description
The Sallingsund Bridge is a concrete road bridge that links the island of Mors with the Salling peninsula in northern Jutland, stretching 1717 meters across the water. The structure features a main span of 93 meters and stands about 30 meters above sea level to allow maritime traffic to pass underneath.
History
Queen Margrethe II opened the bridge on May 30, 1978, replacing two ferry services that had carried about one million passengers per year across the sound. This construction modernized transportation between the two regions and ended dependence on ferry crossings.
Culture
The bridge shapes the landscape between Mors and the Salling peninsula and serves as a daily landmark for local residents. It connects two regions that were previously separated by water, fundamentally changing how people move through and perceive this part of Denmark.
Practical
The bridge serves as a main road route connecting north and south Jutland with standard driving conditions. Visitors should note that pedestrian crossing is not permitted, so it is only accessible by vehicle or as a passenger in a car.
Did you know?
Before the concrete bridge was built, residents crossed the strait using two ferries with memorable names meaning pain and bother in Danish. These historic ferries still shape local memory and show how quickly a new connection transformed daily life.
