ØRESUND BRIDGE
The Øresund Bridge is composed of a high bridge and two approach bridges. The high bridge has the longest cable-stayed main span in the world for both road and rail traffic.
The bridge two-level superstructure is fabricated from steel and concrete. The steel girder supports the upper deck, which accommodates the motorway, and the lower deck where the railway is located. The tracks are placed in a concrete trough along the approach bridges, which changes to a steel deck on the high bridge.
The structure has a mass of 82,000 tonnes and supports two railroad tracks beneath four road lanes in a horizontal girder extending along the entire length of the bridge.

ØRESUND TUNNEL
The western part of the Øresund Link is a 4km-long tunnel between the artificial island of Peberholm and the artificial peninsula at Kastrup. The tunnel is the longest immersed tube tunnel for both road and rail traffic in the world. It consists of 20 tunnel elements.
