New milestone reached on Storstrømsbroen: Landfast from both sides
Tuesday, January 16 marked another milestone in the construction of the new Storstrøm Bridge, as the bridge became landfast from both Masnedø and Falster.
"Now the gap between the bridge deck on land and over water is closed, and we have a landfast bridge on both sides of Storstrømmen. It's a great start to the new year. Once the bridge sections are landfast, it will be much easier to transport materials and tools to the work sites. In the future, the contractor can drive it to the work site without being dependent on a boat, so the construction work will be both easier and faster," says Project Manager Niels Gottlieb, Danish Road Directorate.
Approaching the pylon in the middle of Storstrømmen
Since October 2023, the bridge has been land fast on Falster, and the bridge is constantly getting longer and approaching the pylon in the middle of Storstrømmen.
"After the New Year, bridge element 10-11S was hoisted up on the Falster side, so we got two new bridge elements up in the first half of January. I can not be anything other than satisfied with that," says Niels Gottlieb.
The new Storstrøms Bridge will open for car traffic in 2025 and for train traffic in 2027.
