In 1991 the Danish and Swedish governments agreed to build a bridge to connect their two countries. Later that year the two parliaments ratified the agreement and scheduled the design to be completed by 1994. The 16 km long between Sweden and Denmark is now complete. At 6 am on August 14, 1999 the final section of the Öresund bridge was placed in position. Six hours later, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark met on the bridge to mark the fact that Denmark and Sweden are linked once more - 7,000 years after the Ice Age when they were landlocked.
