    Default The bridge

    Not a ship's bridge but the Oresund bridge linking Denmark with Sweden and it's the main prop in a Danish/Swedish crime drama series. Although sub titled both self and wife have found it gripping, well worth a watch, it's on BBC iPlayer.
    Having transited the Sound and passed under that bridge a number of times it's a magnificent structure. Anyone who has done a Baltic cruise in the last few years will have passed under it. The first time I went under it, it was still under construction and coming down the Sound in dense fog we had to pick up a pilot for the transit , required whilst the construction was underway, and just as we approached the bridge the fog cleared and we were able to view the bridge, strangely though after construction was completed and the bridge opened I was able to transit without a pilot.

    Agree 'The Bridge' is an excellent series, currently being shown on BBC4 on Saturday nights. Have a slight tenuous connection with 'the bridge' as I supplied rock dredging/digging round nosed grabs for its foundations

    Sailed under that bridge a couple of years ago on a Baltic Cruise.
    It certainly is a very impressive one and a great engineering feat.

    Vernon, think you may find that series was on SBS some time back.
    Happy daze John in Oz.
