Bryggebroen (English: Quay Bridge) is a pedestrian and bicyclist bridge which spans the inner harbour of Copenhagen, Denmark. The bridge connects the harbour-front development of Havneholmen in Vesterbro with the Islands Brygge neighborhood on the island of Amager. Designed by Danish architectural firm Dissing + Weitling, the 190 m long swing bridge was completed in September 2006.[1] It was the first new bridge to span Copenhagen Harbour in 50 years.[2]
