The Gedser-Rostock Bridge is a proposed project to link the Danish island Falster with the German city Rostock, stretching 40-45 kilometres (25–28 miles) across the Baltic Sea. The proposal is an alternative to the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link. The bridge (or tunnel) would complete the European route E55 and be the main link between Scandinavia and Berlin. Today, Gedser and Rostock are linked by the Scandlines ferries who also operate a Fehmarn Belt line. If built as a bridge, it would be the longest bridge in the world over a body of water. If built as a tunnel, it would still be the longest underwater tunnel in the world, but measured by total tunnel length the Seikan Tunnel and the Channel Tunnel are longer. It would also be the only bridge across open sea and not a named strait, belt, sound or channel. Although the distance is twice as long as across the Fehmarn Belt, the bridge could be built in part as a low bridge since water depths are more shallow than in the Fehmarn Belt. The Gedser Reef offers depths of less than for some to the southeast of Gedser. ==Arguments== Proponents argue that a Gedser-Rostock bridge would be much better situated as a link from Scandinavia to Berlin and high-growth areas in Eastern/Central Europe (especially Poland). The distance between Copenhagen and Berlin would be shorter by Gedser-Rostock as compared to by the Fehmarn Belt. From Copenhagen to Munich, could be saved, and from Copenhagen to Poland, . In the debate on the Fehmarn Belt project opponents in Denmark have called it a vision dating from the Cold War, when it would have formed the obvious link from Copenhagen to Hamburg and Western Europe. Also, Hamburg already today is a bottleneck for road and rail traffic. The drawback of the Gedser-Rostock solution, apart from its greater length, is the journey from Copenhagen to Hamburg will be increased by . The current ferries across the Fehmarn Belt would, however, offer an alternative if they continued to operate. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gedser-Rostock Bridge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
