Inderhavnsbroen
Inderhavnsbroen, 1401 København
Retractable steel pedestrian and cycle bridge whose two curved halves swing apart and glide back together like a kiss.
This guide to Inderhavnsbroen in Copenhagen tells the story behind its nickname, the Kissing Bridge, and the three years it spent failing to live up to it after its planned 2013 opening. It follows the bridge's financial backer going bankrupt, a calculation error that meant its two steel halves simply would not meet, and the nicknames impatient Copenhageners gave it while they waited on their bikes. Stand on the span itself and watch for the moment its two curved arms swing apart.
