Nyköpingsbro, Rest area with restaurant along E4 motorway in Nyköping, Sweden

Nyköpingsbro is a rest area with a restaurant housed within a bridge structure that spans across the roadway, serving travelers on the E4 motorway. The building combines a crossing function with dining and rest facilities in a single integrated design.

The facility opened in 1986 as a rest stop with dining for travelers on Sweden's expanding motorway network. It was built during a period when such combined structures became increasingly important for long-distance driving.

The pylon carries a sculpture of a key, a reference to the Nyköping Banquet of 1317, when King Birger imprisoned his brothers. The site also has a sister facility, Gävle Bro, built in the same period.

The facility sits on both sides of the E4 southwest of Nyköping, with a St1 petrol station and parking at each bridge abutment; picnic tables and benches are just beside these areas. The northbound side has an Espresso House café, while the southbound side has a self-service Rasta restaurant with the Värdshuset dining room for booked groups and a rest room for professional drivers. Tables and a pick-and-mix sweet shop with ice cream and coffee are in the bridge section itself.

The key sculpture on the pylon refers to the Nyköping Banquet, a 1317 event when King Birger imprisoned his brothers. The rest area has a sister facility, Gävle Bro, built around the same time outside Gävle.
