Lille Langebro

This guide to Lille Langebro in Copenhagen starts with a 2018 shipment of steel that arrived from the Netherlands already broken, stalling a bridge project before it could begin. You'll hear how the finished span that opened in 2019 traces a curve deliberately borrowed from the vanished ramparts of Christianshavn, and how its piers hide the machinery that lets two sections swing open for harbor traffic. Look closely at the handrail after dark, when concealed lighting changes how the whole structure reads.
