Stora Helvetet, Railway bridge in Åre Municipality, Sweden
The Stora Helvetet bridge extends 240 meters across a deep ravine, incorporating steel boxes that connect the Swedish Central Line near the Norwegian border.
Engineers completed the initial railway embankment construction in 1877, leading to subsequent reinforcements and a complete bridge replacement between 2016 and 2018.
The name Stora Helvetet reflects the harsh conditions railway workers endured during the construction of the original structure in the mountainous Swedish terrain.
The bridge serves as a critical transportation link between Swedish Mittbanan and Norwegian Meråkerbanan, connecting the ports of Sundsvall and Trondheim.
The modern bridge structure consists of seven welded steel boxes, with the final installation phase requiring the placement of a 700-ton segment.
