A fixed ferry connection between Frederikssund and Hornsherred was first documented in 1539 – during the reign of Danish King Frederick II. The connection was replaced around 430 years later by the predecessor of today's bridge: a 151-meter-long, wooden pontoon bridge, which opened on June 3, 1868, and was named after the then Crown Prince and later King Frederick VIII. Due to wear and tear on the structure and increasing traffic, the construction of a new bridge was planned in 1930 by resolution of the Frederiksborg County Council. After a year and a half of construction, the new building was ceremoniously opened by Christian X on October 30, 1935, at the push of a button. The then Crown Princess Ingrid and Christian X's son, later King Frederik IX, also attended the ceremony. The name Kronprins Frederiks Bro was retained.[2] While the substructure was carried out by the construction company Björn Frederiksen, the companies Vølund and Helsingør Skibsvårft were responsible for the steel superstructure. Because the Kronprins Frederiks Bro represents a bottleneck for traffic from the Hovedstadsområdet to Hornsherred, the construction of a new connection is being discussed.[5] One proposal envisages a road tunnel under the Roskilde Fjord, which would be financed through tolls.[6]
