The high bridge section has the longest cable-stayed main span in the world for both road and rail traffic. It has a main span of 490m. The high bridge’s two pylons are 204m high and the navigational clearance is 57m. The bridge is on two levels – the railway runs along the lower deck while the motorway runs along the upper deck. | Oresund high bridge and tunnel Tunnel section Tunnel entrance |
