Langebro

Langebro stretches 250 meters across Copenhagen's Inner Harbor, connecting H.C. Andersens Boulevard on the Zealand side to Amager Boulevard on the Amager side.

The current structure, completed in 1954, replaced several previous bridges, including a wooden one from 1690 and a swing bridge constructed in 1903.

The bridge maintains its position in Danish literature through references in Søren Kierkegaard's writings and appearances in numerous Danish films and media.

The bridge rises 7 meters above water level and serves as one of only two central Copenhagen bridges that accommodate motor vehicle traffic across the harbor.

Danish authorities have registered this steel and concrete structure in the Kulturstyrelsen monument registry, recognizing its architectural and historical value.
