Oresund Bridge Crossing-Pedestrians?

[lonsdajk]

Does anyone know if pedestrians are permitted to cross the Oresund Bridge between Denmark and Sweeden?

The Oresund bridge also has several miles of tunnel, so my guess would be no.

I don't know if it is allowed walk across, but I don’t think you would like to do it. The Öresund Bridge consists of a 2,2 mile tunnel, a 2,5 mile distance across an artificial island, and a 4,9 mile bridge. It has two decks, with a railway on the lower deck and the cars on the upper deck. To reach the bridge on the Danish side, there is a 5,6 mile highway, and on the Swedish side a 6,2 mile highway.

 

Should you still feel you have to do it, here is the event for you: http://www.broloppet.com/show.php?id=1&lang=2

North-bound thanks for the information. If my cruise was in June, I would try the marathon. As it is, I guess I'll have to postpone that walk.

 

I love doing bridge walks - I've done Golden Gate, Sunshine Bay bridge when it was inagurated, and Mackinaw. Was hoping for my first international bridge......

lonsdajk,

 

Are you on a Baltic cruise that will take you to Stockholm? There is a bridge here that is a really nice walk, with a fantastic view of central Stockholm. The name is Västerbron (means West Bridge). Its a fairly long and high bridge. Stockholm, being built on islands, has bridges everywhere, but for someone like you who really loves to walk bridges Västerbron is by far the best. I love long walks myself, and walked across Västerbron today.
