Imagine driving along a bridge that is so long that you can't even see the other and. The oresund Bridge, one of the longest bridges in the world, stretches so far ahead into the distance that you can't even tell where the blue of the water meets the blue of the sky. The oresund Bridge is an amazing example of moderm engineering design that links the Scandinavian countries of Denmark and Sweden. It is 8 kilometres long and was completed in July 2000. It crosses the Flinte Channel, the chilly waterway separating the two countries. At one stage the bridge turns into a tunnel under the sea . This tunnel is also is also a record breaker in its own right as it is the longest road and rail tunnel in the world. The engineers built an artificial island near the Danish coast that helps to support part of the bridge structure, as well as being the point at which the road disappears underground, before coming out in Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark. The bridge, which was built jointly by the two countries, is expected to bring huge advantages. It will save time compared to traditional ferry connections, as well as being of benefit to the economy of both countries.
