Why This Bridge Turns Into a Tunnel

A bridge crosses the sea—then the road disappears beneath an island. Why not keep building the bridge all the way to the other shore? The Øresund Link connects Denmark and Sweden with a bridge, an artificial island and an underwater tunnel. Its unusual design makes room for cars, trains, ships and aircraft along one remarkable route. This illustrated documentary explores why Copenhagen Airport helped shape the crossing, how Peberholm connects two different structures, and how enormous concrete tunnel sections were built on land before being floated out and lowered beneath the sea. From the railway hidden below the road to the tunnel beneath the Drogden shipping channel, discover how the pieces became one continuous journey.
