The Øresund Bridge, which links Sweden and Denmark, reopened on Sunday morning after being forced to close for safety reasons due to strong winds from storm Malik, which is currently battering northern Europe.
However, wind-sensitive vehicles were advised against crossing the combined highway and railway bridge due to still-strong winds, the consortium operating the bridge wrote on Twitter.
