The Almö Bridge (Swedish: Almöbron) stood from 1960, when it was built to connect the island of Tjörn to the Swedish mainland, until 1980, when it collapsed after a ship hit it. Built after a suggestion from Krupp, the arch bridge type was cheap to build but it also had narrow roadways that slowed traffic.
