The Old Little Belt Bridge: From Jutland to Funen across the Little Belt

The Old Little Belt Bridge is located in the heart of Denmark, just a stone’s throw from Fredericia. The bridge, often described as an architectural gem, was completed in 1935 and was the first fixed link between Jutland and Funen. Today, the Little Belt Bridge is an integral part of life around the Little Belt, and every day trains, cars, cyclists, and pedestrians cross the bridge while enjoying the beautiful view.

The history of the Old Little Belt Bridge

The Old Little Belt Bridge was constructed between 1925 and 1935 and was initially simply called the Little Belt Bridge. The structure itself was a significant engineering achievement in the interwar period, and with the simultaneous introduction of new express trains, travel time between Jutland and the capital was significantly reduced.

When you go bridgewalking, you get up close to the structure, and the high architectural standard becomes even more evident when seen at close range.
