Öland Bridge
Ölandsbron
A sea-crossing bridge connecting Kalmar and Öland, about 6 kilometers long and one of the longest bridges in Sweden.
The bridge opened in 1972. It is 6,072 meters long, and its central section is raised to let boats pass beneath. It is the only road link to Öland. Crossing is free, and cars, buses, and bicycles can all use it. In summer, a special shuttle ferry carries bicycles. The best photo spots are at Svensksund on the Kalmar side and at the Färjestaden seafront on Öland. At sunset, the whole bridge appears as a silhouette.
