Oresund Connection, Road and rail bridge-tunnel between Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden.

The Oresund Connection stretches 16 kilometers across the Oresund strait, combining a cable-stayed bridge, an artificial island, and an underwater tunnel.

The construction began in 1995 and concluded in 2000, marking the first fixed connection between Sweden and Denmark after centuries of water-only transport.

The infrastructure project strengthened Nordic cooperation by connecting two major metropolitan areas and creating opportunities for cross-border employment and education.

The connection includes four traffic lanes and two railway tracks, allowing vehicles and trains to cross between Denmark and Sweden in under 20 minutes.

The Drogden Tunnel section ranks as the largest immersed tube tunnel by volume worldwide, measuring 3.7 kilometers in length and 40 meters in width.
