Y:et, Concrete sculpture in Timrå, Sweden

Y:et is a 30.5-metre-high sculpture by Bengt Lindström in the shape of the letter Y, the county letter of Västernorrland. It stands on the island of Skeppsholmen in Timrå, beside the E4 where it crosses the Indalsälven delta near Sundsvall-Timrå Airport. Built of 80-millimetre sprayed concrete, it weighs 700 tonnes, and its paint alone weighs 3,000 kilograms.

Y:et was created by the Swedish artist Bengt Lindström and inaugurated on 3 September 1995 on Skeppsholmen in Timrå, beside the E4 where it crosses the Indalsälven delta. For a few years the Timrå tourist office was housed inside the sculpture. A renovation was completed in autumn 2019.

The letter Y is the county letter of Västernorrland, which gives the sculpture its name. During some years the Timrå tourist office was housed inside the sculpture, and in summer a café operates in Y:et itself. The surrounding area has become a rest stop with walking paths along the Indalsälven river.

The surrounding area is a rest stop with toilets, lawns, barbecue spots and walking paths along the river, and in summer a café operates inside the sculpture itself.

The 3,000 kg of paint on the concrete give the Y its colour, and the sculpture is hollow enough that Timrå's tourist office was housed inside it for several years. In summer a café operates within the Y itself, and the surrounding area by the Indalsälven has toilets, lawns, barbecue spots and walking paths.
