Queen Alexandrine Bridge

The Queen Alexandrine Bridge extends across Ulv Sund with a total length of 746 meters and connects the Danish islands of Zealand and Møn.

The bridge construction started in 1939 and opened on May 30, 1943, during a period when Denmark aimed to improve connections between its major islands.

The structure bears the name of Queen Alexandrine of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, who served as the queen consort of Denmark during the bridge's construction period.

The bridge features a central arch with a 26-meter clearance above water level, allowing maritime vessels to pass underneath while maintaining road traffic above.

The structure appears on the Danish 500 kroner banknote, representing its status as a significant infrastructure element in the national transportation network.
