Captions This is Hisingsbron, an award-winning bridge crossing the Göta älv river in central Gothenburg. 🌉
With dedicated lanes for buses 🚌 and trams 🚋 , as well as separate pathways for pedestrians 🚶 and cyclists 🚴 , the bridge is a testament to modern urban connectivity. A standout feature of Hisingsbron is its innovative lift system. The central span is gracefully elevated horisontally to accommodate passing river traffic, seamlessly blending engineering prowess with functional beauty.
The bridge was unveiled in 2021 and won the prestigious International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) Award for Small Road and Rail Bridges in 2023. 🌟
Hisingsbron is 1,380 metres long in total – counting all the parts on land – and 40 metres wide.
