Motorists and train passengers are advised to avoid crossing the Øresund Bridge between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM on Saturday, June 15, due to the Broløbet (the Bridge Run). Significant delays are expected as the bridge operates at a reduced capacity to accommodate the Broløbet Half Marathon, which is part of the bridge’s 25th-anniversary celebrations
The Øresund Bridge administration has issued a strong recommendation for all non-essential travel to be rescheduled to before 6:00 AM or after 5:00 PM to ensure a smoother journey for those with critical travel needs, such as work or flights.
Info for participants in the Broløbet Half Marathon
Runners participating in the event are strongly encouraged to use the official transportation solutions provided by the race organizers, Sparta and MAI. Participants should avoid driving to the start area. Detailed transport information and maps are available on the official event website, broløbet2025.dk, which will have the latest updates on getting to and from the race.
Impact on Road Traffic
Motorists crossing the bridge on June 15 between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM must anticipate reduced speeds, significant queues, and extended travel times. Peak Disruption will be 9:30 AM – 1:30 PM. The most significant impact on traffic is expected during this four-hour window.
The tunnel section will operate with alternating one-way traffic. Traffic will be allowed to flow in one direction for approximately 15 minutes before switching to the other. This will inevitably cause substantial delays. On the rest of the bridge, only two of the four lanes will be open, with one lane operating in each direction.
Øresundsbron strongly advises all travelers to completely avoid crossing during this period to allow essential journeys a more manageable passage.
General Disruptio wil be between 6:00 AM – 9:30 AM and 1:30 PM – 5:00 PM. During these periods, the bridge will have one lane open for vehicles in each direction. Motorists should still expect queues, lower speeds, and longer than usual travel times. Real-time traffic updates will be available on the Øresund Bridge website at oresundsbron.com/trafikinformation and via traffic radio broadcasts.
Impact on Train Traffic
Train services across the Øresund Bridge will operate on a special timetable on June 15. Passengers should be aware of significant crowding, particularly between 5:00 AM and 9:00 AM, as thousands of runners travel by Øresund trains and buses to the start area in Tårnby, near Copenhagen Airport.
Due to the high volume of passengers, seating cannot be guaranteed, and carriages are expected to be crowded. Travelers are asked to show consideration and prioritize seating for passengers with heavy luggage or other needs.
