Status of the bridge

Short disturbances in the toll station towards Denmark

The Øresund Bridge painting platform will be moved from the southern to the northern side of the motorway during weeks 47 and 48. Traffic should be affected as little as possible, but it is an extensive project that involves a short stop of 3-5 minutes in the toll station - in the direction of Denmark - when the transports turn around at Lernacken. We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Traffic on the Øresund Bridge

The Øresund Bridge is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, special situations may arise due to wind and weather, maintenance or accidents, where we work with the authorities to close the bridge to traffic.

On this page you can always see the traffic status, whether there is a queue at the toll station and if there are any special places on the connection where you need to pay extra attention due to roadworks etc.

Skånetrafiken is in charge of train operations and you should contact them in case of train cancellations, delays etc.

Border control

The Swedish police perform border controls on the Øresund bridge towards Sweden and, in rare cases, towards Denmark. You must be able to show proof of identity.
