Femöresbron, Bridge across Motala River in Norrköping, Sweden.
Femöresbron is a bridge across the Motala River in Norrköping that connects the northern and southern parts of the city. The structure features arches and pathways designed for pedestrians to cross safely.
The original structure was built in 1901 to connect communities near Åbackarna and served the city for more than a century. The old bridge was removed in 2018 as structural conditions no longer met current needs.
The bridge keeper's cottage and foundation, protected as heritage buildings since 1986, represent early 20th-century Swedish infrastructure development.
The new bridge was designed with a gentler slope than the original structure, making the crossing easier for all users. Visitors can cross the river on foot or by bicycle.
An old bridge keeper's cottage and its foundation are protected heritage structures showing how important such crossings were to the city. These historical remains remind us that bridges are more than structures - they carry their own stories.
