Great Belt Bridge (Storebæltsbron)

The Great Belt Fixed Link (Storebæltsforbindelsen in Danish) is the link between the 2 Danish islands Sjaelland (Zealand, where Copenhagen lies) and Fyn (Funen) across the Great Belt, the largest construction project in Danish history. It consists of a suspension bridge with a road and a railway tunnel on its side. The bridge has the world's 3rd longest main span (1.6 km) and was designed by the architectural firm Dissing + Weitling. It has a height of 254 m. The bridge opened for traffic in 1998. The pictures were taken from a minibus travelling from Copenhagen to Paris, the first and only time I have travelled on the bridge.

The crack on the windshield is belonging to the minibus of a Danish lowfare travel agency that we were travelling with. The brakes were also bad on this vehicle!

The large part is called the East Bridge.
