On Thursday, Transport Minister Ole Birk Olesen and the mayors of the municipalities of Vordingborg and Guldborgsund symbolically started the excavation work on the project.\u00a0In just 4 years there is a bridge with a length of 4 km over the fairway between Zealand and Falster stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Many jobs<\/span><\/h3>\n

“It’s a huge project that will not only bring the eastern part of Denmark closer together, but also create a better and faster connection to Germany,” the minister said in his speech on the project’s start of construction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also in terms of jobs, the bridge is of great importance in the area, Olesen continues.\u00a0“In the next 8 years, a lot will happen in the construction sector and we are currently expecting 2000-3000 new jobs in the area, which will be created by the construction of the new bridge and the subsequent demolition of the old ones.”<\/span><\/p>\n

A beautiful landmark<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mayor Michael Smed from the municipality of Vordingborg sees bridge construction as a driver for economic growth in the region.\u00a0“The bridge leads to shorter travel times and improves the framework conditions for growth.\u00a0It will be of enormous importance to the infrastructure, both nationally and internationally, and will be a landmark for our region. “<\/span><\/p>\n

Important link<\/span><\/h3>\n

Mayor John Br\u00e6dder from the municipality of Guldborgsund sees the Storstr\u00f8m Bridge as an important link for the approximately 2,000 commuters who commute to work daily between the different parts of the country.\u00a0“But even during the construction phase, the project is very important.\u00a0Local companies have the opportunity to participate in this project, “says Br\u00e6dder<\/span><\/p>\n
