Discussions on a new link between Denmark and Germany continue with Denmark's Transport Ministry publishing data showing that the proposed bridge option would be more costly than a tunnel.


Just one rendering of what a cable-stayed bridge across the Fehmarn Belt could look like

The bridge, at some 19km long, would link Danish island Lolland with the German island Fehmarn and is expected to cost e5.16 billion, a e765 million increase on original projections. However, the tunnel cost is expected to be e5.08 billion, some e496 million less than originally estimate.
