Details provided by Danmarks Radio stated that the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link would run 19 km (12 mi) from a point about 2 km (1 mi) east of Rødby in Denmark to Puttgarden on the island of Fehmarn which was already connected by bridge to the German mainland. Construction would start in 2015 and was expected to be completed by the end of 2021.
Location of the ferry route. Fehmarn Belt (German pronunciation ⓘ) (Danish: Femern Bælt, former spelling Femer Bælt; Low German: Femernbelt) is a strait connecting the Bay of Kiel and the Bay of Mecklenburg in the western part of the Baltic Sea between the German island of Fehmarn and the Danish island of Lolland.
The bridge was designed by engineers G. Fischer, T. Jahnke and P. Stein from the firm Gutehoffnungshütte Sterkrade AG, Oberhausen-Sterkrade. Architect Gerd Lohmer helped with the architectural design. Panoramic image of the bridge as seen from southeast. In 2023 there is a renovation of the bridge.

Descending up to 40 meters beneath the Baltic Sea, the world’s longest immersed tunnel will link Denmark and Germany, slashing journey times between the two countries when it opens in 2029.
A tunnel connection is under construction across the Fehmarn Belt. Originally planned as a bridge, the solution eventually chosen was an immersed tunnel comprising both a road and a rail link. The Danish government is financing construction. The fixed link will have road fees comparable to the ferry fees.
It is still being planned as of 2024. If the Fehmarn Sound tunnel is not finished when the Fehmarn Belt tunnel is completed, the Fehmarn Sound Bridge can be electrified and used during a transition period. The following stations will exist along the new Lübeck–Puttgarden railway. [9] Bad Schwartau (existing station but will need modification)
