Abstract
A double-leaf swing bridge has recently been constructed to span a 44-m-wide dredged navigation channel in Denmark. The channel connects the city of Naestved with the sea, and the bridge is a link in a new road bypassing Naestved. The Danish Road Directorate considered a total of 14 proposals from five consulting firms: five bascule bridges, four swing bridges and five hoist bridges. The swing bridge presented here was selected based on its building and maintenance cost advantages, aesthetics, functionality, reliability and environmental compatibility. Preservation of the shoreline was also a high priority.
