Is this image [1] the same bridge? It looks quite different from the other shots.

Not the same bridge no.

A lot of stuff seems weird about the article. It looks like the information is scraped from different sources and then stitched together into a badly written article.

It really doesn't look like the Öresund bridge to me. A reverse image search suggests this is concept art for the planned Fehmarn belt bridge (between Denmark and Germany).

I guess it's an early render, it is not a picture of the real bridge.

The real bridge has two pairs of towers, not four hollow tower as shown in the picture here. I don't know why it was included.
