The Øresund Link is the crossing from Denmark to Sweden – to be more precise, from Copenhagen to Malmö. It incorporates both a motorway and a high speed rail line, and has three main elements which are a 4km tunnel, an 8 km bridge, and a 4km artificial island between the two. The Link, which cost about £1.9 billion, was opened in 2000.
Scandinavians are perhaps in the forefront of environmental awareness, and environmental concerns had a major influence on both the design of the works and their construction. Particular issues were the flow of water into and out of the Baltic Sea, the effects of a major dredging programme, and the wildlife on the island of Saltholm which is very close to the new link. The talk will describe how these issues were dealt with by the Client and by the Contractors and comment on the outcomes.
