| Abstract: |
The Øresund Link opened to traffic in 2000 and as a cross-border infrastructure it connects Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmø in Sweden, two urban areas. The Great Belt Link opened to traffic in 1997/1998. This link connects two non-urban areas in the central part of Denmark and has become the most important connection between East and West Denmark. The paper presents some of the experience gathered and the development in traffic at both links. Also topics such as environmental impact, traffic safety and financing are dealt with in the paper. |
