Hadsundbroen

Hadsundbroen is a road and bascule bridge that spans across Mariager Fjord, connecting the surrounding regions via Secondary Route 507. The structure features movable steel sections that allow both vehicle traffic and maritime vessels to pass through the waterway.

The current structure was opened in November 1976, replacing an earlier 1904 bridge that combined railway and road traffic with a swing mechanism. The shift to a modern bascule design changed how people and goods moved across this important route.

The bridge takes its name from the nearby town of Hadsund, which grew as a trading center around this vital crossing point. For locals and visitors today, it stands as a familiar landmark that visibly connects the surrounding communities.

The bridge is designed for everyday traffic and receives regular maintenance to ensure safe passage for vehicles and ships. Visitors should expect occasional temporary closures when the structure needs to raise for maritime vessels.

The bridge can raise its steel sections to allow larger vessels to pass through the fjord, setting it apart from other crossings in the region. This lifting system becomes visible when you visit during times of maritime activity.
