Editing Rudkøbing (section)

==Transport==
Bridges connecting Rudkøbing and Svendborg were built throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s, finishing in 1966. The old ferry route between the two towns gradually lost popularity due to the bridges, and the route was eventually ended. The ferry route to Marstal, which had been active since 1866, was closed in 2013, so that the only ferry on this route could be moved to the busy route between Marstal and Svendborg. The ferry route between Rudkøbing and Marstal opened again in December 2019.

The [[Langeland Bridge]] was built between 1960 and 1962. It connects Rudkøbing and the rest of Langeland to the island of [[Siø]]. Siø is further linked by the [[Siøsund Bridge]] to [[Tåsinge]], and Tåsinge is linked by the [[Svendborgsund Bridge]] to [[Svendborg]] on the mainland of [[Funen]], making Rudkøbing accessible by road.<ref>{{cite web|url= https://structurae.net/en/structures/langeland-bridge|title =Langeland Bridge |website= Structurae Version |access-date=1 January 2020}}</ref>

From 1911 to 1962, Rudkøbing was the main station of the Langeland rail network ({{Interlanguage link|Langeland railway|lt=Langelandsbanen|da|Langelandsbanen}}). The network was connected to Svendborg in 1926, when a railway ferry route made it possible to move train wagons between Rudkøbing and the mainland of [[Funen]].<ref>{{cite web|url= https://www.jernbanen.dk/pbaner.php?s=120 |title =Langelandsbanen|website= jernbanen.dk |access-date=1 January 2020}}</ref>
