The Öresund Bridge 10 years<br />
In <strong>2010</strong> the Öresund Bridge celebrated its tenth anniversary.<br />
By that year, 50 million cars had driven across the bridge<br />
between Malmö, Sweden and Copenhagen, Denmark −<br />
or Limhamn and Kastrup, to be exact.<br />
A <strong>Skanska</strong>-led construction consortium completed the<br />
project ahead <strong>of</strong> schedule and on budget. Project execution<br />
was characterized by a high level <strong>of</strong> safety and controlled<br />
environmental impact.<br />
For many people, the Öresund Bridge is the natural route<br />
between home and workplace. Traffic over the Öresund<br />
waterway has increased sharply since the bridge opened in<br />
July 2000. The number <strong>of</strong> vehicles that drove across the bridge<br />
was 9.3 million in 2009, and a total <strong>of</strong> 35.6 million passengers<br />
crossed the Öresund by car, bus, train or ferry.<br />
With its unique natural setting, the artificial island <strong>of</strong> Peberholm<br />
(Pepper Isle) south <strong>of</strong> Saltholm (Salt Isle) − where the bridge<br />
meets the tunnel portion <strong>of</strong> the Öresund Link − has become<br />
a very important refuge for threatened species. In the latest<br />
inventory, for example, six species <strong>of</strong> seagulls were observed. The<br />
black-headed gull, which has become increasingly rare in Denmark<br />
and Sweden, has established a viable colony with 400 pairs.<br />
