Vikbron, Wooden bridge in Torp District, Sweden

The Vikbron spans 133 meters across the Ljungan River at the entrance to Torpsjön, featuring wooden foundations and a superstructure.

Built between 1887 and 1888, Vikbron replaced a former tarred bridge located one kilometer upstream at Byforsen.

The bridge construction required cooperation between villagers from Finnsta-Vikens, reflecting the community spirit of late 19th century Sweden.

The bridge underwent extensive restoration after flood damage in 2000 and reopened in 2005 under the management of Roggaforsen Finnsta Vikens association.

Vikbron holds the distinction of being the longest wooden bridge in Sweden and forms part of the St. Olavsleden trail system.
