	Great Belt Fixed Link - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Western Bridge was built between 1989 and 1994; its road/rail deck is comprised of 63 sections, supported by 62 pillars.
		Environmental considerations were the reason why the Great Belt A/S established an environmental monitoring programme in 1988, and initiated co-operation with authorities and external consultants on the definition of environmental concerns during the construction work and the professional requirements to the monitoring programme.
		The Eastern bridge has so far been in the clear, although on May 16, 2001, the bridge was closed for 10 minutes as the Cambodian 27,000-ton bulk carrier "Bella" was heading straight for one of the anchorage structures.

		The bridge was the first step in linking the three parts of Denmark by road, with the second step completed with the Great Belt Bridge in June 1998; previously, only boats and later ferries had been used to transport people over the belt.
		Construction of the bridge began in 1929 and it was opened for traffic on May 14, 1935.
		On the bridge there are two railway tracks, two narrow lanes for cars to cross as well as a sidewalk for pedestrians.

		We estimate that the prospective Fehmarn Belt bridge will be closed roughly 2% of the time for light roadway vehicles (unloaded trucks and caravans), corresponding to 7 days per year.
		For the Great Belt bridge the corresponding actual fraction is 1.5%, despite the fact that this bridge uses stricter criteria.
		If all the large bridges (Øresund, Great Belt and Fehmarn Belt) used the same criteria the Fehmarn Belt bridge would be closed approximately twice as much as the two others.

		The Great belt bridge was just completed and opened to cars in 1998, it carries both cars (by bridge) and trains (by combination of bridge and tunnel) between Denmark's islands of Zealand and Funen, completing the link between Denmark's largest islands and the mainland of Europe.
		The high bridge has a span of 1 mile between the main towers, and was the longest in the world until a new bridge opened in Japan about a month later.
		This $5 billion new bridge was contracted in Europe's new currency the Euro, one of the first projects to use the new currency, which seems a bit ironic to me since Denmark has not joined much of the rest of Europe in adopting the Euro as its currency.
