The Farø Bridges (Danish: Farøbroerne, pronounced [ˈfɑːʁœˌpʁoˀɐnə]) are two road bridges that connect the islands of Falster and Zealand in Denmark by way of the small island of Farø which is approximately mid-way across the Storstrømmen sound. A smaller bridge from Farø provides access to Bogø and thence to the island of Møn.
