Öresund bridge...from Malmö to Kopenhagen...45min.

After a century of discussions about building a fixed link between Sweden and Denmark, the Öresund Bridge was inaugurated on 1 July 2000. The link is 15.4 km long and consists of the world's longest cable-stayed bridge for both rail and motor vehicle traffic, at nearly 8 km. The main span is suspended from four pylons that measure 204 m above the surface of the sea. The best viewing point over the Öresund Bridge is from Lernacken at the Luftkastellet restaurant.
