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

The Kolbäck Bridge spans 522 meters across the Ume River, connecting the island of Ön to both sides of the mainland through its modern engineering design.

Construction of the bridge began in 1998 under designer Inger Berglund, reaching completion in September 2001 with an investment of 190 million Norwegian Kroner.

The bridge stands as a representation of Swedish engineering excellence, incorporating advanced structural solutions while maintaining functionality for the local community.

Initially designed for two lanes, the bridge now accommodates three lanes of European route E4 traffic, measuring 17 meters in width across its entire span.

The bridge crosses two separate water channels, Lillån on the western side and Storån on the eastern side, creating a dual-crossing infrastructure solution.
