King Oscars Bridge (known as Oscarsbron in Swedish) is a single arch concrete bridge which spans the Göta River at the Trollhättan Falls at the town of Trollhättan. The present bridge was completed in 1969 and replaced the original bridge which was built in 1889, to connect the suburb of Stromslund to the town.
As a result of its location close to the falls, as well as the Olidan and Hojum hydroelectric power stations, the bridge was a popular tourist attraction in Sweden for many years, and remains a popular viewing platform during the annual Fallens dagar - an annual event in which water is released over the original falls at Trollhättan.
