a bridge over Limfjord (Aalborg/Nørresundby)

The Limfjord is a shallow sound in Denmark that separates the island of Vendsyssel-Thy from the rest of Jutland Peninsula. It extends from Thyborøn Canal on the North Sea to Hals on the Kattegat. It is approximately 180 kilometres long and of an irregular shape with several bays, narrowings, and islands, most notably Mors. It is deepest at Hvalpsund (24 metres). Its main port is Aalborg (officially Ålborg since the reform of  1948), where a railway and a road bridge are built across the Limfjord to Nørresundby, while motorway E45 passes it through a tunnel to the east..

The Limfjord was first connected with the North sea on February 3, 1825   when a flood pierced an opening, the so-called Agger Canal, in the north of a 13 km long and less than 1 km wide isthmus, the Agger Tange, which until then linked Vendsyssel-Thy with the rest of Jutland. In 1862, another flooding pierced another opening, the aforementioned Thyborøn Canal, through the remainder of Agger Tange (see satellite image).
