Bergnäsbron, Bascule bridge in Luleå, Sweden

Bergnäsbron is a bascule bridge over the Lule River between central Luleå and Bergnäset. It is 896.5 metres long, with a 7-metre roadway and separate 3-metre pedestrian and cycle paths on both sides. Its steel structures, machinery and electrical equipment were supplied by AB Motala Verkstad, while Monberg & Thorsen AB handled foundations and concrete.

The bridge opened in 1954 and was an important step forward for transportation in northern Sweden. It was built to handle both road traffic and maritime vessels on the Lule River effectively.

The bridge appears in several Swedish films and TV series, including Grabben i graven bredvid, Populärmusik från Vittula and Lasse-Majas Detektivbyrå. The Swedish artist Hurula mentions it in the song "Existens" from the 2025 album of the same name.

Bergnäsbron carries a seven-metre roadway with separate three-metre walking and cycling paths on both sides, so pedestrians and cyclists cross apart from cars. When closed it leaves 7.3 metres of clearance for vessels; the bascule span lifts for taller traffic. It links central Luleå with Bergnäset, with Gäddviksbron as the alternative crossing upstream.

Bergnäsbron was Sweden's second-longest bridge when it opened in 1954, at 896.5 metres, and it remains the longest bridge in Norrbotten County and the longest in Sweden north of Umeå. It has appeared in Swedish films and TV series such as Populärmusik från Vittula and Grabben i graven bredvid.
