The western part of the bridge joins the Øresund Tunnel on [[Peberholm]], an [[artificial island]], just south of the island of [[Saltholm]] on the Danish side. The Danes chose the name Peberholm (Pepper Islet) to complement the natural island of Saltholm (Salt Islet). The island was built from dredged material from the bottom of the Sound and elsewhere. For instance, large stones from a rock construction site in [[Kungshamn]], [[Bohuslän]], came to line the island together with local [[Scania]]n stone from [[Dalby, Lund Municipality|Dalby]]. Peberholm is approximately {{convert|4|km|mi|1|abbr=on}} long with an average width of {{convert|500|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} and is {{convert|20|m|abbr=on}} high.

At Peberholm, the railroad turns off the highway and runs parallel to the highway down into the Øresund Tunnel. On the island there is a [[Junction (rail)|junction]] where trains can be [[Railroad switch|switch]]ed between the two tracks. Exits connect the highway with roads dedicated to maintenance work on the island. In addition, there is a [[helipad]] on the island for emergencies, for example in the event of a serious road accident.

Peberholm is a [[nature reserve]] and public visits are generally not allowed outside the highway. The island has been allowed to develop its own nature without active human intervention. Several rare species have established themselves on the island.<ref>{{cite web| url=https://www.birds-of-denmark.dk/peberholm.htm| title=Birdlife on Peberholm| publisher=Birds of Denmark| access-date=10 March 2025}}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=https://news.cision.com/dk/oresundsbro-konsortiet/r/naturen-stortrives-ved-oresundsforbindelsen---koloni-af-skestorke-pa-peberholm,c3785866| title=Naturen stortrives ved Øresundsforbindelsen – koloni af skestorke på Peberholm| publisher= Øresundsbro Konsortiet / news.cision.com| access-date=10 March 2025 | lang=da}}</ref>
