Nautical information
| The Swedish Transport Administration is carrying out maintenance work on the bridge 'Älmstabron' from October 16 to November 27. The work requires a work raft to be placed in the fairway, which temporarily reduces the vertical clearance from 12.0 metres to 9.0 metres. The work does not affect the bridge's operation and the bridge will therefore be able to open as usual during the time period. |
