Little Belt Bridge precise calculations, and molds both for the piles and each end of the bridge were first constructed of wood and later manually filled with cement from buckets. When the new Little Belt Bridge came into use in 1970, the old bridge lost its function as the main traffic line for cars between Funen and Jutland; however, it is still used as the only railway bridge between Jutland and Funen and thus the only railway line connecting Jutland with Zealand as well, as well as to carry traffic between Fredericia and Middelfart and their neighbouring villages. The bridge requires constant maintenance.
