The Oresund Bridge in Copenhagen, Denmark links Denmark and Sweden for the first time since the end of the Ice Age over 7000 years ago. The $4 billion bridge/tunnel project was completed in 2000 and consists of a 5-mile bridge, 2.5 mile tunnel, and a man-made island. Malmo, Sweden, the third largest city in Sweden, is now just 35 minutes away from Copenhagen via the train across the Oresund Straits.
This bridge is half under the water, for ships to pass and then again, it comes out on the other side. Truly a marvelous piece of engineering!
