The bridge is one of the most important traffic routes in Scandinavia . Both the international E20 motorway and the double-track railway line over the Öresund with direct connections from Copenhagen, the airport and Malmö lead over the bridge, which creates the connection in conjunction with a tunnel .

Ramboll was responsible for the planning and construction of the Storebælt Bridge (1988–1998). The bridge connects Halsskov on Zealand and Knudshoven on Funen . 18 kilometers with a double-track railway line and a four-lane motorway were planned and built, with a small, artificial island Sprogø in the middle of the Little Belt , where the tunnel turns into a bridge.
