XC90 Europe pickup

Completed in 2000 (took 5 years to build).The bridge actually consists of a combination of a long bridge and a tunnel. The tunnel is apprx 4 km long. The reason for not building two bridges - the tunnel portion is too close to Copenhagen's Kastrup airport. Pretty impressive bridge/tunnel to cross even though it cost $100 to go back and forth (discounts are available for frequent travelers).

This border crossing between Sweden (Malmo) and Denmark (Copenhagen) is the longest of its kind in the World. Prior to 2000 this voyage could only be done by ferry or driving all the way around through Poland and Finland ( I don' think so!!). This really cuts down on travel time. I could literally start driving in Olso in the morning and have a later dinner in Germany.
