Oresund Bridge-Tunnel
This is an unusual bridge-tunnel connects cities such as Malmö and Copenhagen. Moreover, it is possible to drive through both rail and car.
Oresund bridge-tunnel began to build back in 1995, and finished 14 August 1999. Despite the fact that a couple of the important construction prevented proishestviy - discovery on the seabed the 18 unexploded ordnance from the Second World War and the bias of one of the segments of the tunnel - the bridge was completed 3 months ahead of schedule
Completion noted symbolic meeting of the Danish Crown Prince Frederik and the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria at the middle of the bridge. The official opening took place on 1 July 2000, already involving themselves monarchs - Queen Margrethe II, and King Carl XVI Gustaf
The emergence of a project of this unusual structure has contributed to the fact that Denmark and Sweden are included in the Schengen area and between the canceled passport and simplified customs control
Initially, the bridge toll was very expensive - in an attempt to discourage him unprecedented cost the government appointed a high price - that's why he used a few, but later, in 2005-2006, the traffic has increased significantly. Analysts attribute this to the fact that many Danes bought cheap by the standards of the Danish wages at home in the Swedish Malmö and went to work in Denmark by the Oresund Bridge. In this regard, for people who regularly cross it were introduced discounts of up to 75% of the fare
In 2008, a car traveling on the bridge was worth 36, 3 euros (260 Danish and 325 Swedish kronor). In 2007, the bridge crossed the nearly 25 million people, of which more than 15 million - on their own vehicles and almost 10 million - on trains
Oresund Bridge includes a double-track railway and highway chetyrёhpolosnuyu. Its total length is 7845 meters, 140 of which every supporting beam of the bridge rests on concrete supports. Target the main span has a height of 57 meters, which allows most ships to pass safely underneath, though many prefer a peaceful transition over by a tunnel, which connects the bridge on an artificial island, nicknamed for its shape Peberholm (Island-Pepper)
By inertia Danes, with their sense of humor decided to give a new name and located just north of the natural island which is now called only as Saltholm (Island Sol). The island Peberholm is 4 kilometers and an average width - 500 meters. Building material for him were the fragments of rock and tons of rocks up from the bottom during dredging operations in the construction of the bridge
Island Peberholm Danish artificial peninsula at Kastrup Amager connects the 4-kilometer tunnel Drogden. More specifically, its length is 4050 meters, which includes a 270 meter portals on both outputs and the actual 3510 level underwater
With the construction of a tunnel at the bottom of the Strait in a specially dug canal was dropped 20 concrete segments 55 thousand tons each, which are then combined into one. Total Drogden tunnel tubes 5 passes - two to w / e and vehicular traffic, and a fifth, smaller pipe for emergencies
For what has been built through the Straits of a strange half-bridge-polutunnel? Why did the government of the two countries went to the additional cost and complexity associated with the construction of the tunnel? The reason is the close proximity of the airport of Copenhagen (normal bridge would prevent take-off and landing of aircraft), plus such a construction is not allowed to restrict shipping traffic through the Øresund
Total for the construction of the Øresund bridge-tunnel has been spent more than 30 billion DKK (in the course of calculations on the Danish krone in 2000) - the amount that will pay off only in 2035. In addition, to expand the bridge going from zhelezodorozhnuyu isolation, in 2006 the Swedish side has spent 9, 45 billion kronor in the city tunnel in Malmö, completed in 2011
In 2010, a car traveling on the bridge worth EUR 39, travel on a motorcycle - 21 euros on the train - 9 euros. But the board is gradually growing - today to drive across the Oresund bridge-tunnel on the machine will have to pay 43 euros

The reason for the dive - Copenhagen Airport, located on the other side of the Oresund strait. Because of the flying planes to land, the bridge was removed under the water in the four kilometer tunnel.
