The Øresund Bridge (Danish / Swedish name Øresundsbron) is a combined rail and road bridge across Øresund, connecting the Danish capital Copenhagen with the Swedish town Malmö. It was opened for traffic in 2000. The bridge has the longest cable-stayed main span (1,092 metres) in the world for both road and rail traffic.
Total length of the bridge is 7,845 meters, which roughly covers half the distance between the Swedish and Danish landmass. The rest is covered by an artificial island (4,055 m) followed by a tunnel (3,510 m) on the Danish side.
