The modern-day Oresund Bridge (which connects Sweden and Denmark) consists of three parts: a bridge, an artificial island and a tunnel; it opened to traffic in 2000. Prior to its construction, the dream of a tunnel connecting the two nations had been fermenting since the late 19th century. In the 1930s, it clearly was used to lure visitors to this Danish tourism exhibition, Holidays in the North." The image is of a space-age designed train in an underwater station.
