Is it me or have I seen this 'truck on a bridge' picture before. Indeed that curly bridge bit at the top looks VERY familiar to me. How about you?  So where on earth is it? (And for your information its not the Oresund bridge, that comes later) For a quick pie let me have the answer....Tom Cunningham knows ALL about it.

Meanwhile, the answer to the first question is Schenker can....and heaven knows what the driver of the Volvo waggon and drag thought when he saw all those big white letters following him...meanwhile for a really BIG bridge click through here...

The Öresund Bridge opened for traffic in July 2000. The bridge is one of the biggest constructions in Europe and consists of an 8 kilometres (5 miles) long bridge, a 4 kilometres artificially made island called Pepparholmen and a 4 kilometres long tunnel. And it case you're wondering it ultimately links (or at least I THINK it links) Malmo to Copehagen. So has any of Biglorryblog's readers driven across it? if so what's it like?

In a word, expensive! My mate, Pete Connock, and I drove up to Gothenburg a few years back and I think that even then it was £38 each way for a car and occupants. But at least they took a credit card unlike the twerps on the Severn Bridge!

All what you need of information is on this Norwegian link http://www.atlanterhavsveien.no/e_index.html - English text.
And you have the answer too: In Norway - and interesting coast road between the two cities Molde and Kristiansund

That´s Atlanterhavsveien in Norway as Martin Phippard says, awesome road and bridge to drive on in all sort of norwegian weather. For those who are interested in more pictures of the same bridge, both building and in different weather, take a look at this topic: http://www.berglitruckstop.no/viewtopic.php?t=2320&start=0

THE MILAU BRIDGE IN FRANCE IS A MASTER PIECE IN IT'S OWN RIGHT HAVE WATCHED TOP GEAR U WOULD SEE THAT IT HAS BEEN CELEBRATED BY THEM BECAUSE IT'S BRITISH BUILT.
MY DAD COVERED 3015 MILES IN TWO WEEKS ON HIS MOTORBIKE ALONG WITH 9 OTHER BIKERS AND WENT TO SEE IT AND WENT TO THE VISITOR CENTRE.
