Hisingsbron, Vertical-lift bridge in central Gothenburg, Sweden
The Hisingsbron spans across the Göta älv river with a total length of 440 meters and a width of 40 meters, connecting Hisingen island to mainland Gothenburg.
The bridge project commenced construction in 2017 to replace the deteriorating Götaälvbro, leading to its official inauguration by King Carl XVI Gustaf in September 2021.
The bridge stands as a central transportation link in Gothenburg, integrating multiple modes of transit including trams, buses, cars, pedestrians, and cyclists across the waterway.
Marine vessels must contact the bridge master through VHF Channel 9 for passage clearance, with the structure providing 12 meters clearance when closed and 28 meters when lifted.
The bridge incorporates LED fixtures throughout its structure that adjust colors according to seasonal light patterns, controlled by an automated system.
