The Øresund Bridge opened on July 1, 2000 to connect Denmark and Sweden between Copenhagen and Malmö. To cover construction costs and maintenance that allow the millions of travelers to easily get between the two countries, traveling the Øresund Bridge length spanning 10 miles (15.9km), there is a bridge toll.
The toll costs for the Malmö to Copenhagen bridge can be paid by purchasing an Øresund Bridge ticket in advance at Tollwayr. Buying bridge discount tickets here online means you won't have to worry about stopping at the Øresundsbron toll station. It's much more convenient while making for a smoother and faster journey with your ticket received within minutes in your email.
Ever since the Øresund Bridge was opened in an official ceremony led by Queen Margrethe II and King Carl XVI Gustaf, it has allowed for improved mobility and the flow of goods, services, and people between Denmark and Sweden. Initially, some 3,300 people crossed, but today that number has increased to around 60,000 daily.
While there are no Danish toll roads for passenger vehicles, there is a cost to drive across the bridge with passenger vehicles that is based on multiple factors. The costs, outlined further below, help to repay the construction costs, including interest.
As mentioned, bridge toll costs depend on several factors, including the length and type of the vehicle, as well as whether you have an ØresundGO which includes a discount, or will be paying the regular prices. These fees are detailed below.
