Svinesund Bridge

The Svinesund Bridge spans 704 meters across the Iddefjord with a steel and concrete structure reaching 92 meters above the water level.

The 2005 bridge construction replaced the 1946 structure, marking a new phase in transportation infrastructure between Norway and Sweden at their westernmost crossing point.

The bridge design reflects Nordic architectural principles with its clean lines and functional elements, connecting two municipalities across the national border.

Four vehicle lanes distribute traffic efficiently along European route E6, providing a direct connection between Oslo and major Scandinavian cities.

The bridge incorporates heating coils within its arch structure to prevent ice formation during winter months, ensuring year-round accessibility.
