Enormous bridge will link Denmark and Germany

Germany and Denmark have agreed to build an 19-kilometer (11.8-mile) bridge across the Baltic Sea between the two countries. The link will cut travel times between Scandinavia and central Europe as well as being one of the largest infrastructure projects undertaken in Europe. The bridge will link the two countries by road and rail across the Fehmarn strait.
The bridge will have a total length of approximately 19 km (12 mi) and will be constructed as a triple-span cable-stayed bridge with each of the three spans being 724 metres (2,375 ft) long. The four pillars carrying the bridge will be approximately 280 m (919 ft) tall. The vertical clearance will be 65 m (213 ft) allowing sea traffic to and from the Baltic Sea to go beneath it.
The design involves four road lanes and two rail tracks. The latest cost estimate is DKK 42 bn (EUR 5 bn) including EUR 1.5 bn for other improvements such as electrifying and rebuilding 160 km (99 mi) of railway from single to double track and new bridges at Fehmarn Sound (1 km) and Storstrøm (above 3 km/about 2 miles).
The bridge will shorten the rail journey from Hamburg to Copenhagen from 4¾ to 3½ hours.
