The Uddevalla Bridge (Swedish: Uddevallabron) is a cable-stayed bridge crossing Sunninge sound near Uddevalla in the province of Bohuslän on the west coast of Sweden. The bridge was constructed as part of the rerouting of the European route E06 outside Uddevalla, which reduced traffic congestion in the city and shortened traveling distance by 12.8 km (8.0 mi).
