It was an impressive sight, on Tuesday evening met the cyclists and walking by the harbour in Copenhagen.
Here traffic ad more laps total in the stand, because the two bridges had to be opened to provide the largest floating crane, HEBO-LIFT 9, access. Also a huge barge which has sailed for a new cykelbro all the way from Rotterdam, came into the harbour.
the Bridge, which has been named Small Langebro, should have been in place already last autumn. But by a black accidentally lost a crane in Rotterdam broelementerne and smashed them.
– They are huge and weigh a total of 600 tonnes, says Peter Fangel Poulsen, project manager at Realdania City & Barley, which have paid for the bridge.
– But because the items were loaded aboard the barge last year, snapped the crane suddenly under the weight and lost a spans rigged down over the other. It was downright awful.

So wrong hope he is not, that it’s going to go this time.
– In the years we have crossed fingers and held breath. But we have also used some new and stronger cranes down in Rotterdam. And the crane, which is found here in the city, is quite huge, he explains.
the Plan is now that both the crane and the barge is out of the port, before the week is over.
– We have already got two out of the four sections in place. So, if it is the pace, so it goes enough.
But until flydekranen is finished, is the port blocked. And so we must begin to test the bridge and build the landscape around it.

According to Peter Fangel Poulsen, there is a need for several months to the final work, since the bridge can not be taken into use before it is completely safe and ready for operation.
Some will certainly be more, that it can’t be that hard to build a bridge.
– There is just a part of the hydraulics in such a bridge, there must be adapted and tested properly before we open it up to all and sundry. It must be able to rotate and move, so it passes the time by.
As mentioned, the bridge is a gift from Realdania, but the final price is not made up.
– earmarked up to 150 million kroner to the project, and we have not spent all the money yet.

Small Langebro
The new cykelbro to be at the side of the Langebro and have therefore been given the name Little Langebro.
running today, up to 40,000 cycles over Langebro on weekdays. It is expected that the Small Langebro – which you can also go over – get up to 10.500 daily users.
the Bridge elements weighing a total of 600 tonnes, but this is no problem for the 75-metre high crane. It can lift up to 900 tons at a time.
A boost of 900 tonnes is equivalent to the weight of 112.500 framework can of beer or 150 african elephants.
