The Oresund Bridge

Øresund Region

Plans to link Malmö and Copenhagen dates back to the 1800s. However, nationalist objections in the 19th century and environmental protesters in recent years were able to block plans to link the people from these two great cities.

The Øresund Bridge took four years and cost £3.3 billion to build. The bridge at 1,624 metres meters is the second longest suspension bridge in the world. The main bridge pylons are the tallest structures in Sweden, with a height of 203.5 metres.

Designed by George Rothne The Øresund Bridge was opened on 1st July 2000. The bridge links Denmark and Sweden together for the first time since the Ice Age. The new road and rail project covers 10.5 miles (17km) between Malmö and Copenhagen and now physically links together Sweden and the rest of Western Europe.

The Øresund region consists of all of Skåne on the Swedish side of the Sound, and on the Danish side of the Danish islands Zealand, Lolland, Falster and Bornholm. The largest city is Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, with a population of about 0,5 million inhabitants. Malmö, on the Swedish side, is the third largest city of Sweden and has about 250,000 inhabitants. The region has big urban concentrations, smaller towns and rural areas with forests, sand beaches and a rich cultural landscape. The region has a big range of cultural events and a varied countryside with clean nature and city life in close range for everybody.
