Nordreälvsbron, Road bridge connecting Kungälv and Gothenburg municipalities, Sweden
Nordreälvsbron is a road bridge spanning the Nordre älv river, connecting the municipalities of Kungälv and Gothenburg. It features multiple vehicle lanes along with separate pathways for cyclists and pedestrians to cross safely.
The bridge was completed in 1968, replacing an older ferry system that had transported people and vehicles across the river. This construction marked a major leap in the region's transportation infrastructure.
The bridge links two communities and enables daily interactions between people from both riverbanks. It forms part of everyday routines, as many use it traveling to work or running errands between the municipalities.
The bridge handles regular vehicle traffic while maintaining adequate clearance for ships passing underneath. Pedestrians and cyclists have wide pathways to cross safely and comfortably.
The bridge construction enabled major redevelopment on the Gothenburg side, creating space for new residential and business neighborhoods. This transformation opened opportunities that would not have existed without removing the old ferry infrastructure.
