European route E 47 is a highway going from Lübeck in Germany over Copenhagen, Denmark to Helsingborg, Sweden, which is also known under the name Vogelfluglinie and Sydmotorvejen. The road has motorway standard all the way except for 28 km (17.5 miles) in Germany, the part inside Helsingør (6 km/4 miles city street), and there are also two ferry connections.

The route has a ferry connection between Germany and Denmark. A bridge, the Fehmarn Belt bridge, is planned there.
Also, there is a ferry connection between Denmark (Helsingør) and Sweden (Helsingborg). There are no plans for a bridge or tunnel here (possiby a railway tunnel around year 2030, but no road connection). There is a bridge-tunnel combination between Denmark and Sweden further south, but still the ferry Helsingør-Helsingborg has a dense schedule.

Other road numbers

The Danish E-roads have no other national numbers (the national number is the same as the E-number, here 47, but only the E-sign is posted). Between Helsingborg and Eskilstrup on the island of Falster, 160 km, the E 47 shares road with the E 55. Between Køge and Copenhagen (29 km), also the E 20 shares the same road. Danish roads 9 and 19 share roads with the E 47 short parts.

In Germany the motorway has the national number BAB 1. The part without motorway has the national number B 207. This part is a kind of expressway with some of the mostly used road crossings built almost like motorway exits.
