After 3 years delay and after 5 years under construction walk- and bike bridge “Inderhavnsbroen” between Nyhavn and Christianshavn was opened thursday the 7. july 2016 at 6 PM to the public.
Thousands of danes and visitors have “invaded” the new walk- and bike bridge the last 3 days to enjoy its function and the splendid view from the bridge to the beauty of Copenhagen Inner Harbour.

On saturday 9. july 2016 I drove 60 km from my home in North Sealand to Copenhagen to visit and “invade” the new bridge.
The 180 meter long “Inderhavnsbroen” is one of three new bike-and walk bridges, which connects Copenhagen City in Nyhavn with the quarters Christianshavn, Amager and Holmen on the opposite side of Copenhagen Inner Harbour.
The two other walk-and bike bridges are “Trangravsbroen” (between Christianshavn and Arsenaløen) and “Proviantbroen” (between Arsenaløen and Frederiksholm) and were opened for the public in 2014.
The 3 new walk-and bike bridges are a main crossing route of Copenhagen Inner Harbour of two major bike-, run- and walk routes:
Christianhavnsruten from Copenhagen City and quarters Vesterbro, Frederiksberg, Nørrebro and Østerbro via Nyhavn/Havnegade to Grønlandske Handels Plads på Christianshavn, Freetown Christiania, Kløvermarken, Island Amager and Amager Beach to Kastrup Airport (north/south route) and
Havneringen – 13 km long bike-, run- and walk route on north- and south side of Copenhagen Inner Harbour from east to west at “Sluseholmen” and back (See locations on map) and havneringen.dk .You can choose four “circle routes” – lengths 2, 4, 7 and 13 km passing 4 bridges: Cirkelbroen, Bryggebroen, Slusen and Inderhavnsbroen.

The new walk- and bike bridge is excellent for running:
The new 180 m long walk- and bike bridge “Innerhavnsbroen” is constructed as a “glide bridge”: the two moving components each 24 m long slides to connect and disconnect from opposite of the foundations. It creates an open space of 15 meter width for passing of sailing- and motor boats.
This “Glide Bridge” is a new, unique and creative construction, which has been used here in Copenhagen for the first time in Europe:

What a gift to all danes and foreign visitors to Copenhagen!
Congratulations!
Thanks for all 3 new walk- and bike bridges: Inderhavnsbroen, Trangravsbroen and Proviantbroen.
It was worth waiting 3 delays years for a perfect finish of a VERY difficult and complex construction (Glide Bridge) of this splendid walk- and bike bridge – its beauty, its elegance and its sustainability!

On my homepage Danculture.dk I have written 2 articles about the above 3 walk-and bike bridges in Copenhagen Inner Harbour:
Copenhagen autumn 2015 – visit Nyhavn Canal and Inner Harbour with 3 new walk-and bike bridges
Visit Copenhagen Inner Harbour, Christianshavn Canal and the places for construction of 3 walk- and bike bridges
In 2015 three walk- and bike bridges will connect Copenhagen Inner Harbour, Nyhavn and Copenhagen City with Christianshavn, Holmen with its Opera, Film- Music-, Theatre- and Architecture Schools, Naval Base Copenhagen and residental and business areas.
I 2015 vil 3 gang- og cykelbroer forbinde Københavns Inderhavn, Nyhavn og København City med Christianshavn, Holmens Opera med Film-, Teater-, Musik- og Arkitektskolen, Marinestation København samt boliger og forretninger.

Lidt faktuelle oplysninger – copy from my article of 12. october 2012 on my homepage Erik K Abrahamsen Blog:
3 nye gang- og cykelbroer binder Christianshavn sammen med Nyhavn og Holmen
Inderhavnsbroen, længde 180 m fra Nyhavn til Nordatlantens Brygge (Grønlandske Handels Plads) på Christianshavn:
Arkitekt: Studio Bednarski Limited
Ingeniører: Flint & Neill Limited,
Hardesty & Hanover International LLC,
COWI
Trangravsbroen og Proviantbroen:
SIDSTE, marts 2014:
Entreprenøren E. Pihl & Søn gik konkurs august 2013. Det betyder, at færdiggørelsen af alle 3 broer er forsinket på ubestemt tid. Det er Københavns Kommune som har ansvaret for færdiggørelse af alle 3 broer og kommunen er pt i forhandlinger med entreprenører, som har nødvendig kompetence til at færdiggøre de 3 relativt komplicerede klap- og skydebroer.
Allersidste, september 2014:
København Kommune har indgået kontrakter med 2 entrepenørfimaer omkring færdiggørelse af Inderhavnsbroen, Trangravsbroen og Proviantbroen. Alle 3 gang- og cykelbroer er planlagt færdigbyggede i begyndelsen af 2015.
Copy finish.
Enjoy life- be happy!
