Nötesundsbron, Steel bridge in Västra Götaland County, Sweden
Nötesundsbron is a 614-metre road bridge on länsväg 160, crossing the boundary between Uddevalla and Orust municipalities. Immediately south of its abutment the road enters Vindötunneln, a roughly 550-metre tunnel through the island of Vindön, and beyond that comes Vindöbron, about 500 metres long, which reaches Orust.
Nötesundsbron was built in 1966 as part of länsväg 160, crossing the boundary between Uddevalla and Orust municipalities. The road continues south directly from the bridge abutment into Vindötunneln, a roughly 550-metre tunnel through the island of Vindön, and then over the approximately 500-metre Vindöbron to Orust.
Nötesundsbron carries länsväg 160 across the boundary between Uddevalla and Orust municipalities. Immediately south of its abutment the road enters Vindötunneln, a tunnel about 550 metres long through the island of Vindön, and beyond it Vindöbron, roughly 500 metres long, reaches Orust. The three links form one continuous crossing.
Crossing the bridge is a short and straightforward drive over the narrow strait. Be prepared for windy conditions on the bridge and drive carefully if weather is poor, as the road can become slippery.
Immediately after the bridge's southern abutment, the road enters Vindötunneln, a tunnel about 550 metres long cut through the island of Vindön. Beyond it lies Vindöbron, roughly 500 metres long, which completes the crossing to Orust. Drivers pass through two structures in quick succession.
