| Abstract: |
Langebro is an iconic bridge across the harbour in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The bridge connects central Copenhagen with the island of Amager. The bridge consists of different spans, including a steel bascule span and two arch spans over the harbour. Viaduct spans on each side allow road traffic underneath the bridge. The bridge was completed in 1954. The bridge has a total length of 385 meters, a width of 33 meters and carries six road traffic lanes, along with cycle lanes and pedestrian footways. The bridge is a landmark and is protected (cultural heritage). A complete rehabilitation including strengthening of the entire bridge is currently in progress. |
