Sallingsund Bridge

The building of Sallingsund Bridge started in 1973, and it was opened by Queen Margrethe II on 30 May 1978. Before the bridge was built, people and cars were taken across the sound by the ferries Pinen ("Pain") and Plagen ("Bother"). In 1976, a million passengers and a half million cars were ferried across the sound.

The bridge is pictured on the Danish 50-krone banknote since 2009.
