Storebealt connection

Las más de 400 islas de Dinamarca están conectadas a través de dos puentes y un túnel. Esta conexión se llama Storebaelt. Ayer atravesamos 8 km de túnel y parte de un puente. El Puente del Oeste, que une Sprogo con Nyborg, ya en la isla de Funen, tiene una longitud de unos 6.6 kilómetros.

 

 Facts and history

Denmark consists of the Jutland peninsula and more than 400 islands of which the largest are Zealand and Funen. Copenhagen, Denmark's capital, is located on Zealand.

Conexión de 18 km

The 18 km long fixed link across Storebælt comprises two bridges and a tunnel.
Construction work on Storebælt took place from 1988-1998. The motorway across Storebælt opened in 1998 and the railway opened in 1997.
The construction costs for the entire Storebælt project totalled DKK 21.4 billion in 1988 prices. The costs were more or less equally apportioned between the road and rail link
