Kolbäck Bridge

Kolbäck Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Umeå, Sweden.

Description

The Kolbäck Bridge is a modern cable-stayed structure that crosses the Ume River and connects the island of Ön to the mainland. It spans about 700 meters and passes over several water channels, creating a significant transportation link for the region.

History

Construction began in the late 1990s and was completed in the early 2000s. The bridge was needed to handle growing traffic between the island and the mainland and to provide a reliable transport connection.

Culture

The bridge serves as a daily route for commuters and travelers crossing the region. It has become part of the local landscape and connects different parts of the municipality in a straightforward way.

Practical

The bridge is straightforward to cross in all directions and is used by vehicles of all sizes. It offers good sightlines and clear markings that help drivers navigate safely.

Did you know?

The bridge spans two separate water channels, not just a single river. This double crossing makes it a notable engineering achievement for the local infrastructure.
