Oddesund Bridge, Combined road and railway bridge in Struer Municipality, Denmark
Description
Oddesund Bridge is a combined road and railway bridge in Struer Municipality that crosses the strait between Jutland and Thyholm. The structure accommodates both vehicle and train traffic side by side, with an opening mechanism that allows maritime vessels to pass underneath.
History
The bridge was completed in 1938 and opened a direct connection between the two land areas that were previously accessible only by ferry. This connection fundamentally changed trade and mobility in the region.
Culture
The bridge links two communities separated by water and serves as the main passage for residents going about their daily routines. It represents how infrastructure shapes where people can live and work.
Practical
The bridge operates as a bascule mechanism and opens periodically for maritime traffic, so waiting times may occur during vessel passages. It is helpful to check in advance for scheduled ship movements to avoid unexpected delays.
Did you know?
The bridge is one of few in Europe that combines road and rail traffic within a single structure while also functioning as a bascule bridge. This triple function makes it an extraordinary example of engineering design.
