When people love eachother they don't want to be seperated, some say that they would build a bridge to be connected.. Well I got news for you.

In Denmark and Sweden, the bridge is usually referred to as Øresundsbroen and Öresundsbron respectively. The bridge company insists on Øresundsbron, a compromise between the two languages. Since the crossing is composed of a bridge, an artificial island and a tunnel, it is sometimes called the "Øresund Link" or the "Øresund Connection" (Danish: Øresundsforbindelsen, Swedish: Öresundsförbindelsen).
