Uddevalla Bridge

This concrete bridge spans 1712 meters across Byfjorden with two pylons reaching 149 meters and featuring a central span of 414 meters.

The bridge, constructed between 1997 and 2000, marks a significant advancement in Swedish infrastructure as part of the European route E6 connecting Oslo to Copenhagen.

This bridge serves as a regional landmark, connecting communities on both sides of Byfjorden while providing transport links between major Scandinavian cities.

During winter months, the bridge requires periodic closures when ice accumulates on cables, and strong winds may restrict access for high-sided vehicles.

The bridge maintains a navigation clearance of 51 meters, enabling large vessels to pass underneath while carrying four lanes of traffic on its 27-meter wide deck.
