Oxbergsbron

Oxbergsbron is a combined road and railway bridge spanning the Österdalälven river and linking the communities across the water. The structure carries both vehicle traffic and train services in a shared crossing.

The structure was built in 1898 as a joint crossing for both road and rail traffic. Structural damage discovered in 2016 led authorities to install a temporary solution and plan separate crossings for each mode of transport.

The bridge is part of the Vasaloppsvägen route connecting Mora and Sälen municipalities. These regions share strong winter sports traditions, and the crossing serves as a link through this sporting landscape.

Visitors should be aware that crossing may be restricted when trains are operating. It is helpful to check local conditions before visiting, as the operational status may change depending on ongoing work and temporary arrangements.

The bridge has an unusual design feature: the railway tracks are embedded directly into the road surface. This means vehicles must stop and the road is blocked with barriers whenever a train approaches.
