Pearls of the North Malmö in Sweden feels a strong tie to Copenhagen in Denmark, perhaps because the city is so
Tcompletely unlike its neighbor just across the water
he Øresund Bridge,  nished station in July 2016. “Ten percent of the in July 2000, has shortened Malmö population works in Copenhagen, the drive from Copenhagen to and ten percent of the Copenhagen pop- Malmö from 60 to 15 minutes. ulation lives in Malmö,” relates Roland
 e two cities in di erent countries have Tomicic, Managing Director at Salzgitter
been growing into one economic region ever since, and Malmö in particular
has experienced a boom. A vehicle rolls across the bridge almost every three seconds, and 834,534 cars, trucks, buses and motorcycles passed through the toll
Mannesmann Scandinavia in Malmö (see page 61).  ere are more jobs in Denmark, but life is cheaper in Malmö. Before the bridge was built, 1,500 people changed sides each day, and today the number is ten times as high.
 e train leaves every 20 minutes, and commuters account for roughly a third
of the private transport across the bridge. Almost a third are people on a short outing. A er all, the Øresund Bridge lures people visiting Copenhagen to Malmö, even if the toll for a car is € 54 a trip.  e contrasts between the cities make the trip worthwhile.
Copenhagen pulsates like a metropolis, and the city is recognizably changing.
The Øresund connection consists of tunnel, bridge and the arti cial island Peberholm, which is supported by steel sections from the Salzgitter Group. Tra c  ows on two levels:
a street above and tracks below. Construction period: 1995–2000, length: 16 km (bridge: 7.8 km), costs: 2.8 BIL euros (bridge: 1.0 BIL euros. €)
