Swedan & Denmark | The Oresund bridge, More than just a link b/w Swedan & Denmark

The Öresund Bridge is a combined railway and motorway bridge across the Öresund strait between “Sweden” and “Denmark”. It is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe, running nearly 8 kilometres (5 miles) from the Swedish coast to the artificial island Peberholm in the middle of the strait.  The crossing is completed by the 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) Drogden Tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager. This cable-stayed bridge involved building an underwater tunnel, an artificial island, an artificial peninsula, and a bridge. Starting from Denmark. Primary motivations for construction of the bridge was to connect the two largest cities of the region, experiencing economic difficulties. The cost for the Oresund Connection, including motorway and railway connections on land, was DKK 30.1 billion (~€4.0 billion) according to the 2000 year price index. In 2006, Sweden began work on the Malmö City Tunnel, a SEK 9.45 billion connection with the bridge that was completed in December 2010.
