Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Almö Bridge, under construction in October 1959, with the T/T W. Alton Jones passing under it. It was inaugurated June 15th, 1960. The bridge connected the island of Tjörn (Sweden's 7th largest island) to the mainland. The bridge collapsed January 18th 1980, when the bulk carrier MS Star Clipper struck the bridge arch. Eight people died that night as they drove over the edge until the road on the Tjörn side was closed 40 minutes after the accident. A new cable-stayed bridge, Tjörn Bridge, was built and inaugurated in 1981. |

Attribution information, such as the author's name, e-mail, website, or signature, that was once visible in the image itself has been moved into the image metadata and/or image description page. This makes the image easier to reuse and more language-neutral, and makes the text easier to process and search for. Commons discourages placing visible author information in images.
