Bryggebroen (lit.: The Quay Bridge) is the newest bridge[2] in Copenhagen inner harbour and is a 190 metres (620 ft) combined pedestrian and bicyclist bridge directed east-west. The bridge is joined to Kalvebod Brygge (west) and Islands Brygge (east) and thus connects Vesterbro on Zealand and Amager. The bridge has become a popular place for attaching love padlocks.[3]
The bridge which opened to public on 14 September 2006 is 5.5 metres (18 ft) wide, divided by a pedestrian path and cycling path and constructed as a swing bridge to allow larger sailing vessels to pass. The name of the bridge was determined after a vote in the Danish newspaper Politiken where more than 200 suggestions were submitted. The name Bryggebroen was elected, because it connects the two quays (lit.: brygger) Islands Brygge and Kalvebod Brygge.
When the bridge was opened, the area surrounding it was still a construction site which created a need for a construction of a temporary wooden bridge on the west side. Also, it was necessary to create a temporary path, south of the shopping mall Fisketorvet. Both construction resulting in additional expenses of approx. DKK 8 mio. (approx. EUR 1 mio.).[4][5]
