Great Belt Fixed Link

The Great Belt Fixed Link is a combined bridge and tunnel crossing of the Great Belt strait between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It combines a road suspension bridge and a railway tunnel between Zealand and the small island of Sprogo, and a box girder bridge carrying both road and rail traffic between Sprogo and Funen, for a total length of about 18 kilometres. The link opened to rail traffic in 1997 and to road traffic in 1998, briefly the world's second longest suspension bridge span at the time. It replaced a ferry crossing that had taken about an hour with a crossing of roughly ten minutes, and at an estimated cost of 21.4 billion Danish kroner was the largest construction project in Danish history.
