The Great Belt Bridge

The Great Belt Bridge is a striking pair of bridges connecting Denmark's main islands, Zealand and Funen, crossing the strait called the Great Belt. Completed in 1998, it includes a suspension bridge for trains and a cable-stayed bridge for cars, allowing efficient transport across this busy maritime route. The design reduces travel time and enhances trade and travel within Denmark and beyond. The bridges are notable for their engineering complexity and aesthetic appeal, symbolizing Denmark's modern infrastructure and connectivity.
