The Øresund Bridge was inaugurated on 1 July 2000 and is a fixed combined bridge and tunnel link between Denmark and Sweden, more specifically between Amager and Scania. The link consists of the Øresund tunnel between Amager (near Kastrup south of Copenhagen) and the artificial island Peberholm (south of Saltholm) as well as the Øresund bridge, a combined girder bridge and cable-stayed bridge between Peberholm and Lernacken (south of Malmö) in Scania. The link consists of a motorway and a double railway track. The total length of the link is 15.9 km.

The Øresund link is owned and operated by Øresundsbro Konsortiet, which is owned equally by A/S Øresund and the Swedish-Danish Broförbindelsen (SVEDAB) AB. The latter is owned by the Swedish State (Ministry of Trade and Industry) through Vägverket and Banverket (50 per cent each), while A/S Øresund is owned 100 per cent by Sund & Bælt, which is owned by the Danish State (Ministry of Transport and Construction).

The total price for the entire link, including motorway and railway connections on land, was calculated in the year 2000 at DKK 30.1 billion. It is estimated that the bridge will have financed itself by the year 2035.
