en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 6, the new Storstrøm Bridge officially opened. This bridge is one of Europe's advanced infrastructure projects and a strategic link connecting Denmark's Zealand region with Falster Island, located on the Scandinavian-Mediterranean corridor linking Denmark with Germany.

Built by Itinera (a subsidiary of the Astm Group) based in Tortona, it is Denmark's third-longest bridge, approximately 4 km in length. The bridge features a unique cross-section that integrates a high-speed railway (with a maximum speed of 200 km/h), a dual-lane highway, and bicycle and pedestrian paths.

Danish Minister of Infrastructure Signe Munk, Crown Prince Christian (grandson of Queen Margrethe II, after whom the bridge is named), and Italian Ambassador Giuliana Del Papa attended the inauguration ceremony. The Crown Prince also made a final symbolic crossing on the old bridge, built in 1937, which has now been closed.

The bridge consists of 44 piers, two approach viaducts, and a main-span cable-stayed bridge with towers 102 meters high. Other key features include: the use of full prefabrication and dedicated assembly areas to reduce environmental impact; the first application of prefabricated slab track technology in railway construction; the creation of over 1,000 jobs during the seven-year construction period, with workers from 27 nationalities on site; and innovative construction solutions to withstand the wind, currents, and maritime traffic of the Baltic Sea.

The new bridge replaces the old infrastructure, which was no longer suitable for modern traffic flows, strengthening Europe's transport connections by rail, road, and bicycle.
