Utsprångskajen
Utsprångskajen is located at Skeppsbron, in central Härnösand. In 2025-2027, the quay will be renovated into a modern quay that can complement the deep harbor and accommodate smaller vessels. At the same time, the quay itself can become a meeting place for Härnösand residents and visitors.
The project
Utsprångskajen will be completely renovated and restored as it was before (170 meters long). The quay will be able to receive smaller vessels from, for example, the Coast Guard, the Swedish Navy, maritime training and other actors, and possibly also smaller cruise ships.
In this way, Härnösand would have two ports that complement each other, Djuphamnen for larger ships, freight traffic and ro/ro vessels and Utsprångskajen for smaller ships.
The idea is also that the quay should be an accessible and attractive meeting place for Härnösand residents and visitors. Before the closure, for example, Utsprångskajen was a popular place for fishermen.
The area
Utsprångskajen is located along Skeppsbron, a kilometer-long quay/street along the sea. There is also a guest harbor for leisure boats, tour boats to the High Coast and quays for the armed forces, coast guard and maritime education. Skeppsbron has great potential to be developed into an attractive maritime route with people, boats and new activities.
In this vision, Utsprångskajen would become a very central place, both for everyday public life and as a center for ship visits.
Work is currently underway to develop a planning program for the entire Skeppsbron.

Other exciting investments in infrastructure
Infrastructure
Nybron is one of two bridges connecting Härnön to the mainland. The current bridge was inaugurated in 1937 and needs to be replaced by a new one. The construction will last from 2024 to 2026.
Infrastructure
Skeppsbron has great potential to become an attractive marine and green route from the city center to the bathing area at Sälsten. In the vision, the route may be filled with cafés and restaurants with outdoor seating, shops, activity areas, leisure boats and tour boats.
Infrastructure
Nybrogatan is Härnösand's main street. Nybrogatan stretches for a kilometer straight through Härnösand. Nybrogatan is in great need of renovation, both in terms of traffic solutions and design, to become the proud parade street it can and should be.
