Fehmarn Bridge from Denmark to Germany will be ready in 2018

The Fehmarn Bridge from Denmark to Germany will be a reality in 2018. Yesterday the Danish parliament Folketinget issued the final law bill making the project possible. According to the Minister of Transport Carina Christensen the new bridge will be a combined bridge for road traffic and railway, which will cut off one hours of the transit time between København and Hamburg for both categories. The bridge has a price tag estimated to DKK 32 billion when finished in 2018. The present ferry operator Scandlines will probably stop further investments in new ferries for the service between Rødbyhavn and Puttgarden, as a consequence of the issued law bill.
