Masnedsund Bridge

The Masnedsund Bridge extends 201 meters across the water, featuring a width of 8.8 meters and connecting the islands of Masnedø and Zealand.

Built in 1883, the bridge replaced ferry services and remained the main connection between Falster and Zealand until the Farø Bridges opened in 1985.

The structure represents Danish engineering capabilities of the late 19th century, incorporating both rail and road transportation needs into a single crossing.

The bridge's bascule mechanism, which allowed passage for tall vessels, was permanently locked down in 2016 to accommodate modern transportation requirements.

Danish State Railways collaborated with Christiani & Nielsen A/S of Copenhagen to create this dual-purpose bridge with five supporting piers.
