Three bridges are included in Tjörnbroleden; The Stenungsö Bridge, The Källösund Bridge and the bridge across the Askerö fjord, The Tjörn Bridge. The latter was hit in January 1980 by a vessel, which had lost its course in heavy fog, causing the bridge’s main span to collapse. The new Tjörn Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 366 metres, which was opened in November 1981. A bridge, which would normally take 3-4 years to build, was finished in only 17 months!
There is a beautiful rest area with plenty of parking spaces by the northern abutment.
