Lundabron

Lundabron is a modern pedestrian and cycling bridge that spans the Ume River and connects the neighborhoods of Lundåkern and Bölesholmarna. The structure provides direct access between residential areas and waterfront recreation spaces.

Lundabron represents the latest development in a longer history of river crossings that began with floating ferries in earlier times. This new bridge emerged from a process of continuous improvements to traffic connections across the river.

The bridge design reflects Swedish engineering principles, integrating the structure with the surrounding natural landscape and recreational pathways.

The bridge is designed for pedestrians and cyclists, providing a practical shortcut across the city. Visitors should be aware of weather conditions, as the open structure is exposed to wind from the river.

Upon completion, this bridge reaches a remarkable length for a structure designed exclusively for non-motorized traffic. It stands out from typical road bridges and represents an unusual example of sustainable transportation planning.
