Bryggebroen ved Fisketorvet - København
Bryggebroen (lit.: The Quay Bridge) is the newest bridge in Copenhagen inner harbor, and is a 190 metres (620 ft) combined pedestrian and bicyclist bridge directed east-west. The bridge is joined to Kalvebod Brygge (west) and Islands Brygge (east) and thus connects Vesterbro on Zealand and Amager. The bridge has become a popular place for attaching love padlocks.
The bridge, which opened to public on 14. September 2006, is 5.5 metres (18 ft) wide, divided by a pedestrian path and cycling path and constructed as a swing bridge, to allow larger sailing vessels to pass. The name of the bridge was determined, after a vote in the Danish newspaper Politiken, where more than 200 suggestions were submitted. The name Bryggebroen was elected, because it connects the two quays (lit.: brygger) Islands Brygge and Kalvebod Brygge.
When the bridge was opened, the area surrounding it was still a construction site, which created a need for a construction of a temporary wooden bridge on the west-side. Also it was necessary to create a temporary path, south of the shopping mall Fisketorvet.
