Introduction

The Öland Bridge runs about 6 km and opened in 1972, linking Kalmar on the Swedish mainland with the island of Öland in the Baltic — one of Europe's longest bridges at the time. More than a transport link, its straight span across the sea turns into a golden ribbon at sunset, a classic spot for drivers and cyclists.
