Little Belt Bridge, Suspension bridge in Middelfart, Denmark.
The Little Belt Bridge is a steel and concrete suspension bridge spanning 1700 meters across the strait. Its two 120-meter towers support six traffic lanes that allow cars and trucks to cross safely.
The bridge opened in 1970 as Denmark's first major suspension bridge. It represented a new chapter in Danish engineering and construction technology.
The bridge connects Jutland and Funen, shaping the daily experience of people who travel between the two regions. For many Danes, it has become a familiar landmark that ties their communities together.
The bridge accommodates cars and trucks across its six lanes while allowing ships to pass underneath. The central opening provides sufficient clearance for boats to navigate safely below.
The steel girders contain dehumidification systems inside that protect the metal from rust and decay. This innovative approach was groundbreaking in Denmark and shaped how future structures were built.
