The Oresund Bridge connects Denmark and Sweden across the Oresund Strait between Copenhagen and Malmo. Construction began in 1995 and included building an artificial island and a tunnel. The bridge opened in 2000 and is over 7 kilometers long, making it the longest combined bridge-tunnel structure in the world. It carries road and rail traffic across the strait using concrete immersed tunnel sections and a cable-stayed bridge design.More from Kittelson 際際滷s (17)

This document discusses how the Florida Department of Transportation is taking a multi-modal approach to mobility. It notes that traditional highway expansion is no longer sufficient due to limited funding and changing travel patterns. FDOT is now focusing on improving mobility through better integration of land use and transportation planning. The document highlights the SR 50 corridor study as an example of this approach. The study developed a multi-modal action plan through a collaborative planning process that considered both transportation and land use strategies.St johns farmers market postcard

This document discusses the concept of livability and provides examples of how different transportation agencies have promoted livability through policies, partnerships, and design. Livability involves creating healthy, sustainable communities with strong neighborhoods, vibrant town centers, access to jobs and opportunities, and integration of land use and transportation. Case studies show how agencies have used policies supporting transit-oriented development, partnerships with local groups, and street design changes to improve livability at various scales.Public Workshop #4

- 1. The Atlantic Highway (Atlantic Road, Atlanterhavsveien, in Norwegian) is a spectacular way that from the mainland coast, jumping from island to island, to reach Aver淡y on a fantastic journey through twisting bridges over the sea in impossible foreshortening . It is no coincidence that this road is the second most visited tourist destination in Norway.
- 4. Its construction began in 1983 and was marked by the struggle against the elements. During the six-year duration of the works were recorded up to 12 hurricane category storms. They are little more than eight kilometers (about 5 miles) of travel including eight bridges over the ocean.
- 6. The main milestone of the road is precisely Storseisundet Bridge, the longest of all (260 meters = 853 ft), which makes a dramatic curve. 油
- 10. Such is the importance of this road that the Norwegians chose her as the century building in the country. In addition, the British newspaper The Guardian picked it as the best road trip in the world.
- 12. Located on the western fjord area and at certain times of year seals and even whales can be sighted. Fishing is one of the biggest attractions of the area. So much so that many people fish in highway bridges, a fact with which we should be careful when driving.
- 14. Since 2009, the Atlantic Road continues from Aver淡y to Kristiansund by a toll tunnel named Atlanterhavstunnelen (ie 'Atlantic Tunnel').
- 16. Its construction was extended for six years (almost 1.5 Km= 0.9 miles per year), but since its opening in 1989 has become the second most visited coastal road by tourists, going on to win the 2005 award for best Norwegian construction.
- 18. To follow the road it is best to get to Molde and then take Highway 64, which is precisely the Atlanterhavsveien. The journey from the historic city of Bergen to Molde has 450 km (280 mi), covering the entire area of the fjords, no doubt a 'road trip' awesome. Oslo is about 600 kilometers (373 mi).
