Mankellbron, Steel railway bridge in Härjedalen Municipality, Sweden.

Mankellbron is a combined road and railway bridge over the Ljusnan in Sveg, about 800 m south of Sveg station at kilometre 356.631 of the Inlandsbanan. It has four steel truss segments, three with straight truss boxes and one arched, and both approaches merge road and track into a single carriageway.

Sveg had no fixed crossing over the Ljusnan; ferries were the only option, hampered by ice and timber rafting. The private Orsa–Härjeådalens Järnvägsaktiebolag built a combined road and rail bridge, and the first train crossed on 28 September 1908, with scheduled service from 9 February 1909. The company was nationalised in 1919. The bridge was named after Henning Mankell in 2006.

The bridge is named after Henning Mankell, who spent part of his childhood in Sveg; sources differ on the year, with the Swedish article giving 2001 and the German one 2006. Mankellbron appears in several of his books, and the Swedish National Heritage Board counts it among the most valuable structures along the Inlandsbanan.

The bridge is accessible from local roads and requires no special preparations to visit. Clear daytime hours work best for views and photography from nearby vantage points.

The bridge was long guarded by its own bridge keeper; today a train must stop and a crew member releases the road barriers from a fixed console interlocked with Sveg station's entry signal. It is one of only two mixed road-rail bridges left on the Inlandsbanan, the other being Piteälvsbron near Moskosel.
