City life

Malmoe

The Öresund Bridge (Öresundsbron) connects Sweden and Denmark, or to be more exact the cities of Malmö in Sweden and Copenhagen in Denmark..
The total length of the Öresund Bridge is 7.845 m (25,740 ft.). The 3 last km (1.9 miles) next to the Danish shore is a tunnel. It emerges via a viaduct on a manmade island, the Pepparholm Island.

The part of the bridge that crosses the navigation channel is called the High Bridge and is a Cable-stayed bridge. The length of the High Bridge is 1.092 m (3,583 ft.) and its span is 490 m (1,608 ft.).
The height of the pylons is 203.5 m (669 ft.). The free height in the navigation channel is 57 m (187 ft.).

There is also a railway line operating on the bridge (underneath the carriageway). The toll- or paystations in both directions is on the Swedish side.
