I’ve definitely seen this exact photo credited as Oresund, but it appears Jonathan knows his bridges better than I do. The island at Oresund is not perfectly rectangular, so it can’t be that.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Google also shows some photos of the Oresund bridge that have been credited as being of the Monitor-Merrimac. Apparently “bridge leading to tunnel” is all people see and then credit it to whichever one they’re familiar with.

At first glance I was thinking Oresund, but it’s the Monitor-Merrimac Memorial Bridge in Virginia. Check out more cool bridges on my blog: http://www.URBANarchNOW.com/2012/04/cool-bridges.html
Isn’t this the bridge from Copenhagen to Malmo?
