[4KHDR] Driving in Sweden and Denmark: E20 from Malmö to Copenhagen - The Øresund Bridge

In this video you can drive along on the E20 from Malmö to Copenhagen via the impressive Øresund bridge. Ever since watching an episode of National Geographic megastructures on this bridge as a kid, I have wanted to cross it. Finally, almost 20 years later, I crossed it and it did not disappoint ;-)
What was surprising as we approached the toll booth, is that the RFID device for toll that I had in the car for Norway actually worked here as well. The border between Sweden and Denmark is just towards the end of the bridge part. The tunnel part of the Øresund crossing is on the Danish side.
Opened in 2000, it was one of the largest if not the largest bridge and strait crossing in the world. The highest bridge pylons reach 204 meters and the crossing has a total length of over 7 kilometers. It features both highway and railway infrastructure, mitigating the travel time between both cities to just 15-20 minutes. It currently costs about 65 EUR to cross the bridge, a hefty price but there aren't really any other options out there.
There is also a Swedish series called 'The Bridge' that was named after this bridge. I can recommend it, it's called Bron / Broenn in the local languages.

One of the most spectacular bridges in Europe, drove also 2 times on it, great piece of infrastructure. Thanks for the video!

Great drive! The bridge-tunnel that you crossed is the most expensive toll in the world at 65 euro! For reference, the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line, a bridge-tunnel in Japan, cost 3,140 yen (21.62 euro) . For ETC user, the cost is 2,320 yen (15.97 euro).

What is purpose of these construction elements, "frames" over the road ? I cant see any traffic lights there or LED information boards with speed limits, ice warnings etc .

[@nielsontheroad]

Looks like there are some small cameras / radars or traffic counters on there.
