But this bridge – tunnel is the connecction now.
This first part of the bridge comes to an end on an artificial island in the middle of the strait. The road smoothly disappears under the ground into a tunnel. The unusual design was chosen in order to avoid blocking the path of planes which land at the nearby Copenhagen airport, as well as to allow space for ships to sail across the strait. The award winning double-track bridge opened up to motorists on July, 1, 2000, and has been impressing everyday folk as well as engineers ever since. Take a look below and see this incredible miracle. Enjoy!
