The length is 2140 m, and the maximum height is 48 m. It was opened in 1995, and is the longest railway-only bridge in Scandinavia.

Most high speed trains on the X_2000 service to Gothenburg and Copenhagen and almost all regional trains stop at the station. Local commuter trains stop at the old lower level of the station.
