Quick Facts

History & Context

The Great Belt Bridge The Great Belt Bridge is a suspension bridge that spans the Great Belt strait between the Danish islands of Zealand and Funen. It is one of the largest suspension bridges in the world and has become an important symbol of Denmark. The idea for the bridge was first proposed in the 19th century, but it was not until the 1960s that serious planning began. The Danish government formed a commission in 1960 to investigate the feasibility of a fixed link between the two islands. After several years of studies and debates, the government approved the construction of the bridge in 1986. Construction began in 1988 and took just over five years to complete. The bridge was designed by the Danish engineering firm COWI and the British firm Ove Arup & Partners, and it was built by a consortium of Danish and Swedish companies. The total cost of the project was approximately 21 billion Danish kroner.
