Kyrkbron, Concrete bridge in Umeå, Sweden
The Kyrkbron bridge stretches 391 meters across the Ume River, featuring a longest span of 47 meters and a design with two parallel concrete girders.
Construction of the bridge began in 1973 after extensive planning discussions, and Swedish Communication Minister Bengt Norling inaugurated it on September 26, 1975.
During the bridge construction, workers discovered 40 casket graves and cannonballs from the Finnish War of 1808-1809 near Umeå City Church.
The bridge serves 13,300 vehicles and 1,900 bicycles daily, connecting the island of Ön to mainland Umeå while maintaining a clearance of 3.8 meters.
Archaeological excavations delayed the construction when workers encountered an unknown burial ground that required thorough investigation and documentation.
