Replacement of expansion joint

Road traffic will be restricted due to maintenance work from 9 March to 17 April and from 22 April to 9 June (break during Easter).

The work is being carried out at the crossing between Peberholm and the bridge, where an expansion joint will be replaced after almost 25 years of traffic. This is necessary to ensure the bridge remains safe and in good condition.

How traffic is affected:

• Only one lane will be open in each direction, which may cause queues during rush hour.

• Speed will be reduced.

• Wide vehicles (over 3.75 metres) and heavy vehicles (over 100 tonnes) cannot cross the bridge.

• Train traffic is not affected and runs as usual.

This is how traffic flows most smoothly across the bridge:

• Follow the zipper merge principle. The idea is that all cars take turns - every other car from each lane - when two lanes merge into one. This reduces the risk of queuing because two lanes can be used for as long as possible before the roadworks on the bridge. This will improve the flow of traffic.

• Are you not a commuter and can drive outside rush hour (07-09 in the direction of Denmark and 16-18 in the direction of Sweden)? If so, you are advised to avoid the rush hour, so that traffic flows more smoothly for those who need to travel at that time.

• Allow for some extra travelling time across the link during this period.

• Keep your distance and drive carefully.

Follow the current traffic situation on www.oresundsbron.com and the Øresund Bridge app.

Øresundsbron will update this page with more information, when the traffic centre sees how traffic is flowing during the roadworks, so that customers can plan their journey at times with less traffic if possible.

The roadworks timetable is subject to change, but is always updated on this page.

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.
