How much did the Øresund Bridge and the link it belongs to cost to build?
The Øresund Bridge is the combined motorway and railway bridge across the Øresund strait between Denmark and Sweden. It forms the Swedish part of the 15.9 km Øresund Link together with the artificial island Peberholm and the Drogden tunnel. The cable-stayed bridge is 7,845 m long with a 490 m main span and pylons about 203.5 m tall; it was built by Sundlink Contractors from 1995 to 1999, opened on 1 July 2000, and is owned equally by the Danish and Swedish states through Øresundsbro Konsortiet.
