Femöresbron

The steel bridge stretches 200 meters across the Motala River, connecting the northern and southern parts of Norrköping with curved arches and pedestrian paths.

Built in 1901 to link communities near Åbackarna, the original Femöresbron served the city for 115 years until its removal in 2018 due to structural deterioration.

The bridge keeper's cottage and foundation, protected as heritage buildings since 1986, represent early 20th-century Swedish infrastructure development.

A new bridge, budgeted at 30 million Swedish Krona, will replace the old structure with construction starting in 2024 and completion expected in early 2025.

The updated design features a less steep gradient than its predecessor, with supporting arches that maintain accessibility while preserving the area's historical character.
