[edit] Great Belt Bridge or Great Belt Fixed Link?

I suggest we either move this page back to Great Belt Bridge, or alternatively make main page under that title and then have a sub page on the fixed link. I have two reasons for this suggestion: 1, It is the name that this construction is commonly referred too, both in Denmark and Internationally. 2, The Danish page that links to this is called Storebæltsbroen (Great Belt Bridge), and not Den Faste Storebæltsforbindelse. --Mecil 15:10, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Done. You are right. --Arigato1 20:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Undone. This is a comment from 9 months ago and there is no support for this, see further down where there is more discussion. The article talks about the entire fixed link, the bridge and the tunnels. Please seek consensus before moves such as this. ++Lar: t/c 01:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Page move appropriate?

This article begins by describing the suspension bridge, but soon turns to considering both the Eastern and the Western bridge and the tunnel. Perhaps a title like "Great Belt link" or "Great Belt fixed link" would be better for an article on two bridges and a tunnel; should the page be moved? — Peter L <talk|contribs> 11:55, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

I created Great Belt Link which redirects to this article. Eventually, there might be enough for a separate article. For now it makes sense for the article to be located here at Great Belt Bridge, because it is the most note-worthy part of the construction. -- Samuel Wantman 00:38, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Highest point in Denmark

The top of the pillars of the Great Belt is not the highest point in Denmark (except Faroer and Greenland). It is the top of the mast of Rø Transmitter.

[edit] toll charges

Anyone know what the charges for using the bridge actually are, for the benefit of anyine thinking of using it? Sandpiper 17:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Today it's 200 DKK for a car under 6 m. For other vehicles see [1] and click the UK flag. --Oami 22:37, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes, and it's DKK 5,793.00 for a passenger train and DKK 5,373.00 for a freight train in case you have a train that's all yours :) Sorry about the reply time, btw — Peter L <talk|contribs> 23:07, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Finland Suing Denmark

Does anyone have more information regarding this? I don't see finlands problem, as they could have gone through Öresund which had a tunnel on the danish side.81.235.136.245 (talk) 12:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I searched a little in the Swedish or Danish language about this and only the suit from 1991 has been found [2], nothing more. The Finns seemed to have dropped the issue. The problem with Öresund is that it is much more shallow. -- BIL (talk) 22:37, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
