Øresund Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge between Copenhagen, Denmark and Malmö, Sweden
The Øresund Bridge stretches 7,845 meters across the strait with a double deck structure containing four lanes for vehicles and two railway tracks below.
The bridge construction began in 1995 and required 79,000 tons of steel and 85,000 cubic meters of concrete before its inauguration by Swedish and Danish monarchs in 2000.
The structure links Scandinavian and Central European transport networks, enabling thousands of people to work and study across borders while strengthening regional cooperation.
Travelers can purchase tickets online through the ØresundGO system, which provides the lowest rates for bridge crossings and includes special discounts for frequent users.
The engineering project transitions from a bridge to an artificial island called Peberholm, then continues through an underwater tunnel to complete the Denmark-Sweden connection.
