I have a strong suspicion that the Danes would object to the description of the bridge being part of a road link to Sweden - I think they mainly see it as a connection between Sjælland and Fyn. Had you said "Sweden's connection to the continent", it would have been somewhat different, although we are only piggy-backing on what they built for their own interest. It's slightly different with the planned connection over Femehrn Belt. This connection is certainly just as much of interest to Swedes as it is to Denmark and Germany, as this is a lot shorter route than going over Fyn and Jutland. |
