Angeredsbron, Road bridge in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Angeredsbron is a 930-metre road bridge on the E6.20 route between Hisings Kärra and Gårdsten in Gothenburg. Its flat concrete deck, carried on rectangular piers, crosses the Göta älv, the E6, the E45 and the Norge/Vänerbanan railway, with a clearance of 47 metres above the river and 35 metres above the E6.
The bridge was inaugurated on 2 December 1978, when municipal council chairman Olle Jansson cut the ribbon. Skånska Cementgjuteriet AB built it in three years at a cost of 75 million kronor, with the state contributing 56 million. Its opening ended the 300-year-old Nyebro ferry crossing. The working name was Agnesbergsbron, changed because the bridge is a main link to Angered.
The name Angeredsbron was chosen over the working name Agnesbergsbron because the crossing is the main link to the Angered district and part of the Norrleden route. When it opened, the 300-year-old Nyebro ferry crossing disappeared. The bridge deck carries three lanes plus a protected two-way path for pedestrians, cyclists and mopeds.
