This stone, measuring 1.59 meters high and 1.09 meters wide, lies at Fällbro bridge in Täby municipality in southeastern Uppland. It is a runestone from the Viking age, featuring an inscription with a run height of approximately 7 cm.
South of a stream at Fällbro bridge, there are three runcarvings that all tell of a Viking-age bridge construction. Between the stones, one can see the remains of an ancient hollow way, especially in the spring when the grass is short. The second runestone is U 146, and Fv1946;258 is located just a few hundred meters away.
The inscription states that Torkel and Fulluge had this stone carved and the bridge made after Sten, their father. The carving is signed by Olev, who also carved the stone known as U 162.
