Смотрите также: Little Belt Bridge The Little Belt Bridge (Gamle Lillebæltsbro), also known as The Old Little Belt Bridge, is a truss bridge over the Little Belt strait in Denmark. The first bridge to have been constructed over the strait, it spans from Snoghoj on Jutland to Kongebrogaarden on Funen. It is owned by the state and Banedanmark, the Danish railway authority, is responsible for its maintenance. The bridge was the first step in linking the three parts of Denmark by road, with the second step completed with the Great Belt Bridge in June 1998; previously, only boats and later ferries had been used to transport people over the belts.
Little Belt Bridge Official name Gamle Lillebæltsbro Carries Railway, motor vehicles Crosses Little Belt Design Truss bridge Total length 1178 metres Width 20,5 metres Longest span 220 metres Clearance below 33 metres Opening date 14 May 1935
Construction of the bridge began in 1929 and it was opened for traffic on 14 May 1935. On the bridge there are two railway tracks, two narrow lanes for cars to cross as well as a sidewalk for pedestrians. When the new Little Belt Bridge came into use in 1970, the bridge lost its function as the main traffic line for cars between Funen and Jutland; however, it is still used as the only railway bridge between Jutland and Funen and thus the only railway line connecting Jutland with Zealand as well, as well as to carry traffic between Fredericia and Middelfart and their neighbouring villages.
