During week 28, an external surface inspection of the Øresund Bridge's pylons is carried out. The work is done by certified specialists in rope climbing.

Traffic on the Øresund Bridge
The Øresund Bridge is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. However, special situations may arise due to wind and weather, maintenance or accidents, where we work with the authorities to close the bridge to traffic.
On this page you can always see the traffic status, whether there is a queue at the toll station and if there are any special places on the connection where you need to pay extra attention due to roadworks etc.
Skånetrafiken is in charge of train operations and you should contact them in case of train cancellations, delays etc.
Border control
The Swedish police perform border controls on the Øresund bridge towards Sweden and, in rare cases, towards Denmark. You must be able to show proof of identity.
