ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The Öland Bridge is a 6,072 m long reinforced concrete girder bridge with 155 spans connecting the island of Öland with the mainland of Sweden. The bridge was opened for traffic in 1972.

In the 1980s and 1990s most of the piers were extensively refurbished due to serious deterioration as a result of reinforcement corrosion. In the years to come the bridge Owner is facing the challenge of rehabilitating the superstructure as well.
