Alvsborgs the bridge is one of the leading and most recognizable symbols of the city.

Sven Olof Asplund and Allan Bergfelt developed a project Alvsborgs bridge, the cost of which was originally estimated at 56 million Swedish kronor, but the overall result, including the cost of connecting wires, exceeded $ 130 million kroner. Work began in the fall of 1963 and was completed only in December 1967. Originally, the bridge was part of a three-kilometer thoroughfare of Älvsborgsbron Trail, and was built in the framework of the project on expansion of the road network.

Alvsborgs the bridge was inaugurated on 8 November 1966 the Minister of transport of Sweden, Olof Palme.

In the local press was at first feared that the Swedish name "Alvsborgs bridge" will be difficult to be pronounced, so there have been proposals to rename it to "West bridge". However, during the voting the majority of votes were cast for the original Swedish version of the name.
