Recently, Danish Copenhagen and Swedish Malmö are connected by a unique road-rail bridge-tunnel.

(Total 14 photos)

1. The construction of the Øresund bridge-tunnel began in 1995 and was completed on August 14, 1999. Despite the fact that a couple of important incidents prevented the construction - the discovery of 18 unexploded shells from the Second World War at the bottom of the sea and the warping of one of the segments of the tunnel - the bridge was completed 3 months earlier than planned

2. The completion of construction was marked by a symbolic meeting between the Danish Prince Frederik and the Swedish Crown Princess Victoria in the middle of the bridge. The official opening took place on July 1, 2000, already with the participation of the monarchs themselves - Queen Margrethe II, and King Carl XVI Gustaf

3. The appearance of the project itself of such an unusual structure was facilitated by the fact that Denmark and Sweden are part of the Schengen zone and passport control was canceled between them and customs control was simplified

4. Initially, the passage on the bridge was very expensive - in an attempt to recoup its unprecedented cost, the government appointed too high price- therefore, it was used by a few, but subsequently, in 2005-2006, the traffic intensity increased significantly. Analysts attribute this to the fact that many Danes bought houses in Malmö, Sweden, which were inexpensive by the standards of Danish salaries, and traveled to work in Denmark along the Øresund bridge. In this regard, discounts of up to 75% of the fare were introduced for people who regularly cross it.

5. In 2008, a road trip across the bridge cost 36.3 euros (260 Danish or 325 SEK). In 2007, almost 25 million people crossed the bridge, of which more than 15 million - on their own vehicles and almost 10 million - on trains

6. Øresund Bridge includes a double-track railway and a four-lane highway. Its total length is 7845 meters, every 140 of which the bearing beam of the bridge rests on concrete pillars. The main span has a height of 57 meters, which allows most ships to safely pass under it, although many prefer a calm passage over the tunnel itself, with which the bridge connects on an artificial island, nicknamed Peberholm (Pepper Island) for its shape

8. By inertia, the Danes, with their inherent sense of humor, decided to give a new name to the natural island located just to the north, which is now called none other than Saltholm (Island-Salt). Peberholm Island is 4 kilometers long and 500 meters wide on average. building material fragments of rocks and tons of rock, raised from the bottom during dredging during the construction of the bridge, served for it

9. The island of Peberholm is connected with the Danish artificial peninsula Kastrup on the island of Amager by the 4-kilometer Drogden tunnel. More precisely, its length is 4050 meters, which includes 270 meters of portals at both exits and 3510 meters of flat underwater part.

10. During the construction of the tunnel to the bottom of the strait, 20 reinforced concrete segments of 55 thousand tons each were lowered into a specially dug channel, which were then combined into one. In total, 5 pipes pass through the Drogden tunnel - two each for rail and road traffic, and a fifth, smaller pipe for emergencies

11. Why was such a strange half-bridge-half-tunnel built across the strait? Why did the government of the two countries go to the additional expense and complexity associated with the construction of the tunnel? The reason lies in the proximity of Copenhagen Airport (a conventional bridge would prevent aircraft from taking off and landing), plus this design made it possible not to restrict shipping traffic through Øresund

12. In total, more than 30 billion Danish kroner (based on the exchange rate of the Danish krone in 2000) was spent on the construction of the Øresund bridge-tunnel - an amount that will pay off only by 2035. In addition, in order to expand the railway interchange coming from the bridge, in 2006 the Swedish side spent another 9.45 billion SEK on the city tunnel in Malmö, the construction of which was completed in 2011

13. In 2010, a car ride on the bridge cost 39 euros, a motorcycle ride 21 euros, and a train ride 9 euros. But the fee is gradually growing - today, in order to drive through the Øresund bridge-tunnel by car, you will have to pay 43 euros

14. The small Swedish town of Malmö is known to many thanks to the amazing Turning Torso skyscraper.

In the age of high technology, masterpieces of engineering are increasingly becoming the focus of travelers' attention. A striking example of this is the Øresund Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö. The idea of ​​a land road connecting the two states, where you can move quickly without passport control, and with a simplified form of customs control, became a reality due to the fact that both Sweden and Denmark are in the Schengen zone. Danes living in the capital are showing interest in buying cheaper housing in Malmö, Sweden. Therefore, now there is a category of people who need to travel daily to Denmark to work and return to Sweden - home.

Designing a miracle

The history of the creation of the Øresund bridge-tunnel project is full of dramatic moments. The Danish company "Dissing + Weitling" (Dissing & Weitling) took on the largest European project. The architect for the project was George Rothne and the structural designer was Ove Arup & Parents. Literally from the first days, problems arose that the designers could not foresee.

On the built island of Peberholm, the cable-stayed bridge is transformed into a tunnel that runs under the strait and is 4 km long. In shape, it looks like a canal, through which the movement of cars and trains passes through huge pipes with traffic arteries inside. Its weight is 55 thousand tons. It is located at a depth of 9 km. Peberholm measures 4 km long and 500 m wide.

The Øresund bridge-tunnel is the longest combined European route. Its railway part turned out to be the longest railway bridge in Europe. It became part of the E20 auto route, and is also an important transport line of the Öresund railway. The international highway E 20 connects European countries from Ireland to Russia (St. Petersburg) and crosses the borders of 6 states. With the help of three bridges - Øresund, Greater and Lesser Belt, continental Europe connected with all the Scandinavian countries. The bridge-tunnel not only connected the coasts of the two countries, but also reduced the travel time as much as possible. The whole trip along the surface and underwater parts of it fits in 50 minutes by car, and 25 minutes by high-speed train. In 2007, about 15 million motorists and almost 10 million passenger vehicles passed through it.

Price policy

Financial costs for the first 5 years of construction of the Øresund miracle amounted to approximately 3.8 billion dollars, or about 30 billion Danish crowns. In 2006, Sweden carried out the reconstruction of the portals and spent about 9.5 billion SEK over 5 years.

Trying to recoup the invested finances, the government decided to put a high price for its use. The cost for a single trip by car fluctuated around 40 euros from year to year. By 2016, the price had risen to 48 euros for a road trip. This price turned out to be very high for regular traffic by him. In order for the residents of Sweden and Denmark to strive to travel on it, a system of discounts has been introduced for drivers and passengers, which allows them to save significantly - pay 2-3 times less than the fare. So, in 2016, a motorist will pay 48 euros for a single crossing, 96 euros for a van, and a motorcyclist will pass for 26 euros. Those who pass through it more than once a year use the BroPass system, according to which a car trip will cost only 22 euros, and for a van - 44. If you cross it more than 16 times a year, it is beneficial to use the SmutTurs discount program. It provides a price for travel in a personal car 14 euros, and on a motorcycle - 7.

You can use the services of Swedish passenger transport: drive through it by bus or train. The cost of a ticket for travel between Copenhagen and Malmö is at least 11 euros (50 crowns or 210 rubles). The train journey will take approximately 20 minutes. In Copenhagen, the bus brings passengers directly to the city center, to the central station.

Economists predict that at such a rate of operation of the bridge-tunnel, its payback is possible by 2035.

Øresund Bridge-Tunnel through the eyes of tourists

The overland road for the inhabitants of Denmark and Sweden is nothing more than a convenient way of transport communication between the two countries. And tourists can visit both at once, without wasting time on moving. In addition, having come to these parts on vacation, you can get unforgettable impressions of amazing buildings and fabulous nature.

Watching from a bird's eye view of the traffic on it, a breathtaking picture opens up: a huge bridge, with cars and trains moving along it, suddenly goes into the depths of the sea and disappears. It's like everything is happening on another planet. Sometimes it seems that it was simply not completed, and cars drive over it - again it doesn’t fit in my head.

Up close, the huge bridge appears to be a gigantic structure. Travelers are breathtaking from the realization of the genius of man and his capabilities. Traveling in a train compartment or in a car, it seems that it is endless. Moving along the land road, the feeling of traveling by sea does not leave - there are beautiful sea views in the windows. And if you try to determine your location on the navigator while moving through the tunnel, then it will show a methodical movement along the bottom of the Øresund Bay.

At night it is very beautifully illuminated. A very romantic mood does not leave - lights are burning around, and sea waves are splashing below. There is a feeling of complete relaxation and a desire to continue the journey without end.

Created as a means of quickly crossing the strait, the Øresund bridge-tunnel has become a grandiose embodiment of the most daring engineering idea, a real masterpiece of urban architecture.

In 1994, the UK and France were connected by a unique Eurotunnel under the English Channel, which became an unprecedented phenomenon in the history of world engineering. But Sweden and Denmark can also boast of their unique attraction. In 1999, these two European powers were connected by the Øresund Bridge, amazing in its beauty and unique in design. Let's take a closer look at this engineering structure and present some interesting facts about the Øresund Bridge.

Name

Even during the construction of the bridge over the Øresund Strait, a dispute began between Denmark and Sweden over the name of the grandiose engineering structure. In it they call Öresundsbron, but in Denmark - Øresundsbroen. The company that built the structure reconciled the citizens of the two states, insisting that after the bridge was put into operation, the inhabitants of the surrounding areas were citizens of Öresund.

This, according to the developer, symbolizes the cultural and historical community of the region. The structure is a line consisting of an artificial island, the actual bridge and an underwater tunnel. Because of this, Europeans call this transport line the "Öresund Communication" or "Öresund Line".

On the Internet and guidebooks, you can also find the name Oresund Bridge.

Construction history

The bridge connecting the two states began to be built in 1995, and the project itself was adopted back in the 80s of the last century. When they began to drive piles, in one of the places in the strait, the builders found 16 unexploded bombs. They lay in sea ​​water since the naval battles between Germany and the countries anti-Hitler coalition. It took some time to clear the bottom, and during the construction of the tunnel they discovered a segment skew, which also took extra time to correct.

Despite the difficulties and obstacles encountered, construction was completed 3 months ahead of schedule, and the bridge between Denmark and Sweden opened on August 14, 1999.

Now there is no need for a ferry crossing from Copenhagen to Malmö, and the bridge has become a symbol of the union of Sweden with mainland Europe.

Design features…

Talking about this amazing engineering structure, it is worth mentioning some of the features of its design.

Factors that influenced the design

Two factors influenced the fact that the bridge gradually goes into a tunnel on the artificially created island of Peberholm. Firstly, on the Danish side, where the bridge would go, there is the airport of the Danish capital, so the high supports interfered with Copenhagen's air communication with the world. The second factor is that a bridge that is too low would interfere with navigation in the Øresund Strait. Therefore, it was decided to conduct part of the connecting crossing under the waters of the sea strait.

For the construction of the tunnel, builders from rocks specially poured an artificial island, naming it with humor "Pepper Island". And the fact is that Saltholm is located in the same strait, the name of which in Russian sounds “Salt Island”.

Miraculously, the bridge goes under water on the island of Peberholm and comes to the surface already from the Danish side of the same artificial Kastrup peninsula.

From the artificial island, trenches were dug along the seabed, in which 5 rows of concrete blocks were laid. Trains move along two rows, cars move along two more rows, and communications are laid in the fifth row of blocks. From the tunnel you immediately get to Copenhagen.

The length of the underwater part of the tunnel is 3510 m. Portals 270 m long approach the tunnel from both sides. Thus, the total length of Drogden is 4050 m.

The surface structure above the Øresund Bay begins in the Swedish city of Malmö and, after 7,845 m, goes underground. The bridge itself is two-level, on one, the upper one, a 4-lane highway for cars was laid, trains rush along the second level. From the lower tier to the water 57 m.

The speed of the train on the bridge reaches 200 km / h, but the train in the underwater tunnel moves a little slower, and immediately from the unique tunnel gets to the Kastrup airport station.

By the way, you can find out about it on our website.

Interestingly, the two neighboring countries have different power voltage for the railway lines. But on the bridge, the voltage and signaling were leveled according to the standards adopted in Denmark.

Central span

The central span of the handsome bridge has a length of 490 m. By design, this is a cable-stayed bridge, the height of the pylons of which is 204 m.

Cultural heritage

The bridge has become a real symbol of the two states, and Sweden even depicted it on the emblem of the Eurovision Song Contest, held in Malmö in 2013.

The first footage of the action-packed Swedish-Danish detective series The Bridge begins with a high-profile murder on the Øresund Bridge, and for 7 years the plot of the film kept the audience in suspense.

In the lyrics of the song "Walk Me to the Bridge" by the British band "Manic Street Preachers", there are references to this miracle of engineering technology. The album was called "Futurology", and was released in 2014.

The most popular research channel "National Geographic" could not ignore the interesting topic of the Swedish-Danish bridge, and released a special film dedicated to the history of its construction and operation.

On souvenirs and tourist postcards of the two camps, you can find the image of the bridge, and the Danes and Swedes consider it their attraction. So in terms of popularity, it is not inferior to such symbols of countries as the Copenhagen mermaid, or Stockholm Carlson.

The Øresund Bridge is depicted on the Swedish 500-krona banknote, which came into circulation in 2015. The Danish krone has not yet acquired such an image.

Interesting Facts…

Well, actually Interesting Facts and events associated with this amazing engineering structure.

First projects

For the first time, the construction of such a bridge was discussed back in the 30s of the twentieth century. But then everything remained at the level of talk, since there were neither funds nor technical capabilities to create such a bridge structure.

They returned to the idea in the late 80s, and when they solved the problem of access to the Danish side with the help of a tunnel, they started concrete construction plans.

Location selection

The distance between the Danish city of Helsingor and the Swedish Helsingborg along the same Øresund Strait is only 4.7 km. They are located south of the capital and Malmö, and the sea current is stronger here, so we decided to guard the bridge in the place where we observe it today.

Another factor is that the depth of the strait, where Helsingør and Helsingborg lie opposite each other, is only 10 m, but near the island of Saltholm it is 41 m.

The bridge was opened three times

On August 14, 1999, the heirs of the Swedish and Danish crowns, Crown Princess Victoria and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark, each began to move across the bridge from their own country. The heirs met, as planned by the organizers of the celebration, in the middle of the bridge.

On June 12, 2000, an athlete's run took place on an empty bridge from traffic. Nearly 80,000 Swedish and Danish runners tested the strength of the structure.

But the official traffic on the bridge began only on July 1, 2000. At the opening, Queen Margrethe II and King Carl XVI Gustaf were guests of honor at the opening. After the handshake of the monarchs, the first cars drove along the highway, and the first passengers got to neighboring countries not by ferry, but by railway.

Payback

The funds that the developer company spent on construction, according to experts, will pay off only by 2035. This also included the amount of 9.4 billion in Swedish currency, which the country spent in 2011 on an underwater tunnel to the bridge.

Problem

Despite all the advantages and splendor of a grandiose engineering structure, the bridge has its own problems. It has excellent traffic capacity, but access roads to it cause a lot of problems. The main one is the constant traffic jams waiting to cross the bridge from both the Swedish and Danish sides.

The border

Denmark and Sweden are included in the states of the Schengen Agreement, but the border between the powers lay at a distance of 5 km 300 m, reporting from the Swedish side.

Another connecting bridge

Interestingly, Sweden is connected by a bridge with another neighbor. The Svinesund Bridge is another unusual border crossing between the Scandinavian states of Sweden and Norway. It, of course, does not go under water, like a Danish-Swedish engineering masterpiece, but it is also not without its own characteristics.

By the way, on the pages of our site you can find an article. In the context of this material, it can be extremely interesting.

In conclusion, let's recall what other countries are connected by bridges, and there are not so many of them. The Ambassador Bridge connects the Canadian city of Windsor and the American city of Detroit.

Dreiländerbrücke, or "Three Countries Bridge" in Russian, is laid over the Rhine, and connects France, Germany and Switzerland.

The "Bridge of Friendship" was laid between Afghanistan and Tajikistan, but the "Bridge of No Return" connected the so far separated North Korea and South Korea.

Let's stop here, because this is a topic for another study ...

The Danish capital and the Swedish city of Malmö are connected by a two-story Øresund bridge. The state border runs exactly in its middle. And this is not news to you if you watched the detective series "The Bridge", which made a miracle of engineering calling card two countries.

Bridge between Copenhagen and Malmö

This unique structure, on two levels of which a continuous flow of cars and trains moves, is the longest (7.8 km) combined type highway in Europe, as well as part of the major European E20 highway. One of the merits of the bridge is that it helped the Great Belt to unite continental Europe, Sweden and Scandinavia. In addition, the Øresund Bridge Tunnel is a bright and photogenic attraction. Particularly intriguing is how suddenly he disappears under water.

In Denmark it is called Øresundsbroen, in Sweden Öresundsbron, but the company that designed the bridge insists on Øresundsbron, rightly considering this architectural masterpiece as a symbol of a region with a common cultural identity.

FACT: The height, width and length of the bridge between Denmark and Sweden, as well as the materials from which it will be made, and other subtleties were discussed by a specially formed group of the Øresund Consortium. A consortium of equal numbers of Swedes and Danes acted as owner and contractor.

How the bridge was built connecting Denmark with Sweden

The idea of ​​connecting the shores of the Øresund Strait has inspired engineers since the 1930s, but there was no money for such a large-scale construction. They had to be found when the volume of the Swedish-Danish ferry service reached such limits that the question of the appearance of an overland road arose with an edge.

The implementation of the project began in 1995 after many studies showed that the island of Saltholm (Salt Island) located in the middle of the strait could not become a stronghold for the Øresund bridge. Construction work and the subsequent operation of the structure could cause irreparable harm to the representatives of the world of birds living here. Therefore, it was decided to build an artificial island, which is located one and a half kilometers south of Saltholm and received from the inhabitants of Denmark the witty name Peberholm (Pepper Island).

The building material for creating the island, four kilometers long and an average width of five hundred meters, was rock fragments and rocks extracted when the bottom was deepened. The man-made origin of the island did not prevent it from becoming a protected area, access to which only scientists have. They conduct experiments here, proving that life can also originate in territories that were created artificially. By the way, the experiments are successful, as some species of plants have already taken root on the island, small rodents have settled.

The surface part of the bridge between Sweden and Denmark starts in Malmö, passes through Peberholm (3.7 km) and dives into a tunnel that ends in the east of the Danish capital, near Kastrup Airport. It was his existence that became the main argument in favor of the construction of the tunnel. The spans and pylons, without which the movement of ships would be impossible, could prevent aircraft that continuously land in this area.

FACT: The Øresund Bridge, which costs more than thirty billion Danish kroner or more than 4,000,000,000 € (2000 prices) to build, should finally pay off in 2035.

The Malmö-Copenhagen bridge began to be built in the mid-90s. And everything was fine until the workers stumbled at the bottom of the strait on live shells of the Second World War. Their safe elimination took a lot of time and effort. In addition, inaccuracies in the engineering schemes provoked a distortion of one of the parts of the structure. But even these difficulties did not prevent the completion of the project after 4 years. The official opening day of the bridge is July 1, 2000, when it was visited by the ruling monarchs of the two states.

Specifications and architectural nuances

The bridge between Denmark and Sweden, the photo of which all tourists strive to take, is truly a mega-structure:

If for the inhabitants of Sweden and Denmark the Øresund bridge and the underwater tunnel have already become commonplace, then travelers have something to be surprised at. Already on approach to the Copenhagen airport, an amazing picture will open in front of you: a giant bridge with trains and cars suddenly “dissolves” in the water. For an unprepared person, this "trick" makes an indelible impression.

Sitting in a car moving along the Øresund Bridge, you will be amazed at its size. There seems to be no end to it, so you have the chance to admire the breathtaking seascapes and enjoy the ride through the tunnel.

Øresund Bridge: fare and other useful information

Immediately after the opening of the Øresund Bridge, the passage through it was so expensive that it did not gain resounding popularity among local residents until a discount system was introduced for regular customers. Danish citizens who bought apartments in Sweden and regularly crossed the bridge to the office could count on impressive discounts. This has had a positive effect on both countries, as wages are higher in Denmark and housing is more affordable in Sweden. Many people divide their lives between the two states and are happy to take advantage of the opportunities that the bridge has given them.

For the convenience of customers, lanes are allocated at the toll station for the bridge-tunnel across the Øresund Strait:

1. Yellow - for cash and motorcyclists.
2. Green - for BroBizz users. This is a device from EasyGo, a group of toll operators in the Scandinavian countries, that allows you to cross over 50 toll points.
3. Blue - are intended for payment by payment cards.

There are signs on the roadway to help you navigate when choosing the right lane.

Bridge toll cost between Copenhagen and Malmö is:

1. For cars up to 6 meters -59 € (440 DKK or 615 SEK).
2. For vehicles from 6 to 10 meters or with a trailer up to 15 meters - 118 € (879 DKK or 1230 SEK).

To many, these figures seem exaggerated, but they are quite comparable to the cost of a ferry ride that circulated between countries before the bridge was put into operation. In addition, when buying tickets online, you can save up to 6% of the amount that you have to spend at the station. You can also subscribe to BroPas, which costs 42 € per year, and save more than 60% of the original cost of each trip across the bridge.

You can cross the Øresund Bridge and the underwater tunnel by car in about 50 minutes, and by high-speed train in half an hour. Please note that the train moves along the lower level, which does not allow you to admire the bridge itself.

- the longest combined road and railway bridge in Europe, it connects the capital of Denmark, Copenhagen, and the third largest Swedish city, Malmö. Built in 2000, the bridge has not only become an architectural marvel, but has also impacted the economies of the two countries: traveling between Sweden and Denmark has become much easier than before by ferry. We dreamed of seeing the Øresund Bridge after watching the TV series "The Bridge", perhaps the best example of detective noir, which all Scandinavia is famous for. Last year, our dream came true: we not only saw the bridge, but also crossed it four times! In this post, we talk about how to see the Øresund Bridge as cheaply as possible, even with the reputation of Denmark and Sweden as very expensive countries.

Curious facts about the Øresund Bridge

Remember the Saga Noren from the TV series driving on it, as it usually seemed endlessly? So the length of the bridge is only 8 kilometers, so you will only be driving on it for 10 minutes.
Traffic between Denmark and Sweden increased by 61% in the first year after the bridge opened.
Traveling on the bridge with your own car costs about 50 euros one way.
Crossing the bridge on a bicycle or on foot is not allowed.
In the entire history of the bridge's existence, there have been only a few accidents on it, and even when a negligent driver once drove almost the entire bridge against traffic, in the opposite lane, no one was hurt.
Despite the fact that there is no visa regime between Denmark and Sweden, before letting you on the bridge, the border guards will most likely check your documents. The fact is that refugees often use the bridge in search of a better life.
Over time, the underwater structures of the bridge began to play the role of an artificial reef: marine organisms settled on them.

Lookouts

From the Danish side, it is not so easy to see the bridge: it is too far from Copenhagen. However, if you really need it, and you don’t want to go to the seashore from the city, you can see it from the very center of Copenhagen. We recommend climbing the Round Tower in the old town for only 5 euros: a good view opens from here.

It is still easier to see the bridge from Malmö side: the city is much smaller than Copenhagen and the city center is closer to the bridge itself. We recommend Ribersbor Beach, just a couple of kilometers from the center, which can be reached on foot.

Perhaps in the morning the view is better: no haze.

A lot of people gather on the beach, it's fun here. You can also take dramatic photos of swimming in the waves with the bridge in the background.

Finally, we suspect that the bridge should be clearly visible from the Torso tower in Malmö, only the climb to it costs about 25 euros and it is not near the coast (the bridge is a little closer from the beach).

Accommodation

To see the bridge, and Malmö and Copenhagen at the same time, we had to rent a house. After several attempts to book accommodation in Copenhagen on Airbnb (at least 5 times we were refused), we opted for Malmö: accommodation here is much cheaper, and for the difference it is better to go to Copenhagen in the morning and return in the evening and once again cross the bridge.

How to cross the bridge

So, there are three ways to cross the bridge:
By car - expensive (remember, 50 euros one way). True, there are discounts for a monthly pass.
you can’t stop, the driver has no time to enjoy the beauties. Alas, mere mortals are not Saga Noren, who at the end of the fourth season stops on the bridge, gets out of the car and thinks about her future 🙂

By train, you will not see the bridge as such: the train goes through the tunnel, and then along the tracks under the highway. However, you can still drive in one direction just for the sake of experience. Yes, and the cost of travel by rail is now inexpensive, around 10 euros. In addition, it is worth buying a train ticket in advance, a couple of months in advance - on sj.se. In our case, tickets from Stockholm to Copenhagen (about 5 hours on the road, including across the bridge) for July, bought in April, cost about 15 euros one way. For comparison, tickets purchased at the last moment can cost 100 euros.
The bus is perhaps the mode of transport with which you can see the most. We bought Flixbus, and they let us down: the bus was late for 2 hours (although everything was on time in the opposite direction). The cost of a ticket bought in advance is only 5 euros one way. On a bus, especially if it's a double-decker, everyone wants to sit in the front seats, but don't be discouraged if you don't make it. The first time we sat down in about the 3rd row, we still saw the bridge.

By the way, the views of the bridge fences from the second floor of the bus are very dumb: the fences are very low and it seems that a bus or a car can easily ram them. Only now, according to our data, in the entire history of the existence of the bridge, this has never happened.

But on the way back we were smarter. While everyone was fighting for the front seats, we sat in the very rear and removed the bridge from beginning to end through the rear window, which we recommend to you.
