The coast-to-coast distance across Fehmarnbelt is 19 km. A range of technical solutions for a fixed link have been examined, but the link’s final design has not yet been determined.
On the basis of the investigations so far, a cable-stayed design has emerged as the preferred solution following a general evaluation of construction, financial, traffic, environmental and safety aspects.
As an alternative, a solution comprising an immersed tunnel will also be examined further, including the environmental aspects.
Both solutions comprise a four lane motorway and a double track electrified rail line, a so-called 4+2 solution.
