This is the engineering marvel also known as the Øresund Link.
It consists of a bridge, a tunnel, and an artificial island, and connects the Danish capital of Copenhagen to the Swedish city of Malmö.
This extraordinary structure was the brainchild of Danish architect George K.S. Rotne, and was opened on July 1, 2000.
The bridge stretches about 8km before transitioning via an artificial island into a 4km tunnel under the Flinterenden Channel.
But that’s not all: the Lund’s Botanical Association has identified more than 500 different species of plants on the tiny man-made island, which was constructed from material dredged from the seabed.
All of this took only five years to build.
