Obbola bridge, Road bridge in Umeå Municipality, Sweden

The Obbola Bridge extends 1,381 meters across the Ume River estuary, connecting the communities of Holmsund and Obbola in northern Sweden.

The bridge, completed in 1989, resolved transportation needs between industrial areas and residential zones that previously relied on water-based connections.

The bridge construction changed local maritime traditions, as residents shifted from boat transportation to vehicular travel for their daily activities.

The structure carries the European route E12 and maintains constant vehicle access between Obbola's paper mill facilities and mainland transportation networks.

The bridge spans over waters that freeze during winter months, requiring specific engineering solutions to withstand extreme temperature variations and ice formation.
