Masnedsund Bridge, Combined railway and road bridge in Vordingborg Municipality, Denmark.
Description
The Masnedsund Bridge is a combined railway and road crossing that spans about 201 meters between the island of Masnedø and Zealand, with a width of around 8.8 meters. The structure carries train tracks on one level and a vehicle roadway on another, allowing two types of traffic to use the same bridge.
History
This crossing was completed in 1883 and replaced ferry services that had previously connected the islands to Zealand. When the Farø Bridges opened in 1985, they became the new main route, and this bridge took on a secondary role.
Culture
The bridge shows how Danes connected islands to the mainland in the late 19th century by combining two transport types in one structure. The railway tracks and road running side by side reflect what mattered most to people traveling between the islands and Zealand at that time.
Practical
The bridge features a bascule mechanism that was permanently locked in 2016 after many years of operation. Visitors can walk or drive across and observe the structure from ground level or from the water to appreciate its design and construction.
Did you know?
The bridge was built through collaboration between Danish State Railways and the Copenhagen-based engineering firm Christiani & Nielsen. The five supporting piers were arranged in a clever way to allow both rail and road traffic to cross simultaneously without interference.
