Umeälvsbron, Railway bridge in Umeå, Sweden

The Umeälvsbron extends 1,937 meters across the Ume River, featuring 39 support pillars with 14 positioned directly in the water.

The construction of Umeälvsbron, completed between 2007 and 2009 by Bilfinger Berger AG, required 25,000 cubic meters of concrete and 4,000 tons of steel.

The bridge design incorporated feedback from local residents and urban planners, reflecting the Swedish approach to community involvement in infrastructure projects.

This single-track railway bridge maintains a clearance height of 10 meters above water level, enabling boats to pass underneath while supporting 30-ton axle loads.

Workers from Sweden, Germany, and Slovakia collaborated on the construction, using 3,000 concrete piles with a total length of 46,800 meters.

Official opening: August 2010
