The Byens Bro is a distinctive pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Odense, providing an important link within the city. It spans the railway line and connects Odense city center near the central station with the northern areas, including the new campus of Southern Denmark University (SDU) and the cultural institutions at Havnepladsen. Its primary purpose is to provide pedestrians and cyclists with a direct and safe connection across the railway tracks, which previously served as a barrier.
The bridge is a key component of the city's soft transport infrastructure.
Opened in 2015, the bridge is wide enough to provide ample space for cyclists and pedestrians and features curved lines that give it a dynamic and elegant appearance. It also features unique blue lighting that makes it an eye-catcher at night.
The bridge has significantly changed Odense's cityscape and is considered a symbol of the city's development, which has placed an increased focus on pedestrians, cyclists, and the connection of its various districts.
