This bridge connects the islands of Zealand (or Zealand in Danish) Sj\u00e6lland and Fyn - which includes Odense, the third largest Danish city after Copenhagen and Aarhus - and it forms a pivotal part of the national road and rail network. It also connects the eastern and western parts of the country directly without the need for ferries and sea vessels as was the case in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1fc26ae7bf12bf90d612ff139a903c73\"><strong>Bridge components<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-717d2bf0d5b94fe4186ecc8cbd0db1a6\">The Storeb\u00e6lt bridge consists of two main parts and a tunnel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The East Bridge (Storeb\u00e6ltsbroens \u00d8stbro): It is a suspension bridge with a total length of approximately 6.8 kilometers, extending over the deep waterway through which ships pass. It includes huge pillars with a height of about 254 meters, making it one of the highest suspension bridges in the world, and it connects the island of Zealand with the small island of Sprog\u00f8.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>West Bridge (Storeb\u00e6ltsbroens Vestbro):<br>It is a relatively low bridge, approximately 6.6 kilometers long, connecting the island of Fyn to the island of Sprog\u00f8, and is used for both cars and trains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Eastern Tunnel (\u00d8sttunnelen): Used for rail transport between Zealand and Spruce, it runs under the sea.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-da9a4351a91a83314dd7ed5756ff2ff4\"><strong>Opening date<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Construction of the bridge began in the late 1980s and took about 10 years to complete. The railway section opened in 1997, while the road section opened in 1998. Since then, the bridge has been a vital factor in facilitating movement between eastern and western Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ec40a98d7c54f8e86537dea3244f6bf3\"><strong>Economic and strategic importance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The bridge significantly reduces travel time between Copenhagen and Odense, and is a key route linking Sweden, Denmark and Germany via the European E20 road network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It plays a pivotal role in road and rail freight traffic, and is used daily by thousands of cars and trains.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also represents a remarkable engineering achievement, as it has helped reduce reliance on ferries and supported economic and geographical integration within Denmark.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-f5d738b9c2de6633976669938a6f6a1c\"><strong>Fees and maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crossing the bridge is not free; cars and trucks are charged a toll.
