The Øresund or Öresund Bridge is a combined railway and motorway cable-stayed bridge across the Øresund strait between Denmark and Sweden. It is the second longest bridge in Europe with both roadway and railway combined in a single structure, running nearly 8 kilometres from the Swedish coast to the artificial island Peberholm in the middle of the strait. The crossing is completed by the 4-kilometre (2.5 mi) Drogden Tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager.

Amager, located in the Øresund, is Denmark's most densely populated island, with more than 216,000 inhabitants. The protected natural area of Naturpark Amager makes up more than one-third of the island's total area of 96 km2.
