The High Coast Bridge is a long white suspension bridge across the mouth of the Ångerman River in northern Sweden, with two tall towers and curving cables over broad blue water, ringed by pine-forested hills. It is 1,867 m long overall with a main span of 1,210 m and towers 196 m high, and ships up to 40 m tall can pass beneath. It was built between 1993 and 1997 and opened by King Carl XVI Gustaf in December 1997. It is the third longest suspension bridge in Scandinavia. It is named after the High Coast region, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and is also called the Veda Bridge after a nearby village. You stop at the visitor centre and hotel at its northern end to see the bridge from the hill; some visitors walk the High Coast Trail, which starts nearby, or drive across on the E4. It is about 18 km in a straight line north of Härnösand. The view is loveliest at sunset on long summer evenings.
