European Route E47
European route E 47 is a highway going from Lübeck in Germany over Copenhagen, Denmark to Helsingborg, Sweden, which is also known under the name Vogelfluglinie and Sydmotorvejen. The road has motorway standard all the way except for 28 km (17 mi) in Germany, the part inside Helsingør (6 km/4 miles city street), and there are also two ferry connections. The route has a ferry connection between Germany and Denmark. A fixed link is planned there by the year 2020. The discussion of a bridge or tunnel was settled when the 'Danish parliament rejected plans for a bridge across the Fehmarn Strait in favour of the tunnel, deciding it would be safer and greener'. Also, there is a ferry connection between Denmark (Helsingør) and Sweden (Helsingborg). There is a bridge-tunnel combination between Denmark and Sweden further south, but still the ferry Helsingør-Helsingborg has a dense schedule.
