SUND & BÆLT THE SOCIO- ECON OM IC IM P ORTAN CE OF THE STOREBÆLT LINK 3 A socio-economic success This publication describes the socio-economic importance of the Storebælt link. The account is based on ”Ex post socio-economic analysis of the Storebælt link,” which the Ministry of Transport and Sund & Bælt published in September 2014. In the analysis, the estimated impacts are measured in relation to society and the individual users. Unlike the traditional socio-economic analyses of infra structure, this analysis also examines the wider economic effects on Danish society. Traffic success on the Storebælt link has been a fact for a long time. Now, we also know that the link has been a socio-economic success. The total, direct benefit to Danish society is valued at DKK 379 billion over 50 years and, in addition, there are the wider economic gains. The link has thus not only made it easier to travel in Denmark, it has also been a good investment for society. Leo Larsen CEO Sund & Bælt
