Øresund Bridge Closes Tonight for Emergency Exercise

The Øresund Bridge will close to motorway traffic tonight. The closure lasts from 20:00 to 23:15 in both directions. Drivers traveling between Denmark and Sweden must plan around this three-hour window.

The closure is due to a major emergency response exercise. The test aims to improve cooperation during large incidents on the bridge. Authorities will check management systems, response teams, alarm chains, and cross-border communication.

Several key emergency actors will participate in the training. These include the Danish Emergency Management Agency, Banedanmark, Copenhagen Police, and Falck Danmark. The information was published by Danish broadcaster DR.
