World's Largest Immersed Tunnel Opens, Revolutionizing Denmark-Sweden Connection.
The Oeresund Tunnel was built to connect Denmark and Sweden with a road and rail link. It is one of the world's largest immersed tunnels, stretching 4.1 km from portal to portal. Innovative construction methods were used, like a special casting facility and bridge-jacking techniques to move the tunnel elements. The project also involved creating artificial land masses from dredged material to support the tunnel.
