Øresund Bridge

Today I achieved one of my ambitions, namely to cross the Øresund Bridge! I've long thought this to be a beautiful structure. So I was delighted to have the opportunity to cross over it, and view the bridge from Malmö.

It was fun & Malmö was well worth a visit. I was very taken with the Twisting Torso, and almost used it for my blip, but really it had to be the Bridge.

This is what Wikipedia has to say about Øresund Bridge;
"The Öresund or Øresund Bridge is a double-track railway and dual carriageway bridge-tunnel across the Øresund strait between Scania (southernmost Sweden) and Denmark.

The bridge runs nearly 8 kilometres (5 miles) from the Swedish coast to the artificial island of Peberholm, which lies in the middle of the strait. The remainder of the link is by a 4 km (2.5 miles) tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager. The Øresund Bridge is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe, and connects two major metropolitan areas: Copenhagen, the Danish capital city, and the major Swedish city of Malmö. It connects the road and rail networks of Scandinavia with those of Central and Western Europe. A data cable also uses the bridge to carry all Internet data transmission for Finland.
