Great Belt bridge, July 20 1997 with an IC3 diesel trainset. The bridge was build between Seeland and Fyn and it consists of two parts: A western low bridge for both cars and trains and an eastern higher hanging-bridge only for cars. The train takes the eastern part of the journey in a tunnel below the waters. Building this bridge divided the Danish population. Some people welcomed the speed and the time saved by the bridge, others lamented the loss of a nice break in the journey. On the ferry, it was possible to walk around, get some fresh air or eat at the cafeterias and restaurants on the ferry. The bridge together with increased speed has shortened the train trip between København And Århus from ca. 5 to ca. 3 hours. Photo by Lars Bohn

On this picture, the low west bridge and the high east bridge are clearly visible. The east bridge, only for cars (train goes in tunnel on the eastern bit) is with a free span of 1624 meters the second longest hanging bridge in the world (from pylon to pylon). The longest is a Japanese bridge that has a free span of 1991 meters. The entire length of the high bridge is 6.790 meters, and at its higest, its 65 meters above sea level. (Highest point in Denmark is a hill which peak is 173 meters above sea level!). The low bridge is 6.611 meters long and app. 18 meters above sea level.

the pictures of the Great Belt bridge are all taken from a car ferry. It was decided politically to finish the rail-link 3 years ahead of the car section of the bridge in order to give the more environmental railroad an advantage of 3 years. Unfortunately during the drilling of the railroad tunnel, there was a leak. The waters of the great belt entered one of the tunnel tubes and flooded the whole thing. Therefore the delay of the car section ended up only being 1 year. Photo Lars Bohn, July 20, 1997.

12 June 2001, Peberholm, still in Denmark Artificial Island between the tunnel and the high bridge of the Øresund Link. The pylons of the cable stayed bridge can be seen in the distance. Deliberately no plants have been planted, one will wait until vegetation will reach the island by natural means. Digital photo by Klaus Föhl (kf@ph.ed.ac.uk)

Øresundsbron, the combined railway and car bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö. The bridge goes between the Swedish coast and the artificial isle of Peberholm (next to natural island Saltholm) almost across the waters of Øresund. From this isle to the Danish coast next to Copenhagen Airport, both cars and trains cross in a tunnel. The span of the hanging bridge with its 1.092 meters is smaller than the similar bridge crossing Great Belt. It is also slightly lower, being only 57 meters above sea level at the highest point. The total length of Øresund bridge is around 6,7 Km. Source: http://www.highways.dk/danmark/broer/oresundsbro.php. Photo taken 31 July 2003 by Lars Bohn.

Øresundsbron seen from the Swedish side. The trains are running underneath the cars in a steel construction (hard to see on the picture), which unfortunately makes the view from a train a little less spectacular. Photo taken October 2002 by Lars Bohn.
