Denmark's Great Belt Fixed Link
Travelling between Copenhagen and Odense yesterday along the E20 meant crossing the Great Belt Fixed Link, a huge suspension bridge (East Bridge) and then a box bridge (West Bridge). The total length of the East Bridge is 6,790 metres (22,277 ft) and the West is 6,611 metres (21,690 ft), running to a total of over 13km.
On the way back to Copenhagen I took the opportunity to stop and take a walk on the beach after the funeral of Allan Simonsen I had attended in Odense.
The Great Belt Fixed Link (Danish: Storebæltsforbindelsen) runs between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It consists of a road suspension bridge and railway tunnel between Zealand and the island Sprogø, and a box girder bridge between Sprogø and Funen. The "Great Belt Bridge" (Danish: Storebæltsbroen) commonly refers to the suspension bridge, although it may also be used to mean the box-girder bridge or the link in its entirety. The suspension bridge, known as the East Bridge, has the world's third longest main span (1.6 km), the longest outside of Asia.
