Unique "diving" the bridge between Denmark and Sweden

If you have not skipped geography in school, you may remember that Denmark and Sweden shared the narrow strip of water - the Øresund strait (Øresund). But this map it is narrow, but in reality its width is about 16 kilometers. Previously, the Swedes and Danes overcame that distance by ferry, but the road is time-consuming. And it was decided to build a bridge and not a simple and unique.

We Website once again convinced that the architects - the real genius.



The bridge is a gigantic structure in which two levels are four-lane highway and railway doroga.







It ends on an artificial island and smoothly goes underground in tonnel.















This unusual design was chosen in order not to create obstacles for planes coming in to land at a nearby airport of Copenhagen, and to ensure free passage for sudov.







Particularly impressive looks with this bridge vysoty.
