The Oresund Bridge is a Cable-stayed bridge. The primary difference between a suspension bridge and a cable stayed bridge is the load bearing structure.
In suspension bridges, this is the cable itself, which transfers the load into large structures set into the earth at the ends of the bridge.
In the cable stayed bridge design, the load is taken primarily by the bridge towers.
A more detailed explanation of the differences is available in the related link.
