The exhibition is located close to the bridge's construction site. It will remain open to visitors including school parties right up to the bridge's inauguration in 2022/23. The US$347 million construction contract was signed last year (link opens in new tab).

Visitors can learn about the project from video, images, descriptions and exhibits covering everything from the first sketches to the underwater archaeological studies and the finished design. Virtual reality glasses will enable visitors to experience the view from the top of a 102m-tall pylon.

The initiative has been welcomed by Jesper Henriksen, partner at the bridge's architectural designer Dissing & Weitling. He said that it will give everyone the opportunity to gain insight into a major project that will make its mark locally for many years to come. He hopes that the completed bridge will be something that the whole country can be proud of.
He described the new bridge as both a local bridge and a 'sister' in a family of Danish structures consisting of the Øresund, Great Belt and Farø bridges.
