Uddevalla Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Uddevalla, Sweden
Uddevalla Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge made of reinforced concrete that crosses Byfjorden. It carries four lanes of traffic on a 27-meter wide deck and features two tall towers supporting the main span.
The bridge was built between 1997 and 2000 as part of the European route E6. Its construction marked an important step in connecting Scandinavian cities more directly.
This bridge serves as a regional landmark, connecting communities on both sides of Byfjorden while providing transport links between major Scandinavian cities.
During winter, ice may accumulate on the cables causing periodic closures. Strong winds can restrict passage for vehicles with high profiles.
The bridge maintains a 51-meter clearance underneath, allowing large vessels to navigate the fjord while traffic flows above. This dual function keeps the waterway active for maritime use.
