Essingebron

Therefore, a first temporary Stora Essingebron was built in 1917 using the rafts of the X-shaped pontoon bridge once in service on the ice of Lake Riddarfjärden during winters.

Across the central seaway, a hand-pulled ferry connected the two pathways until replaced by a flap in 1921.

[3] Finally in 1927 the city council decided on building a permanent bridge, inaugurated the following year.

A severe bus accident in 1948 when a bus crashed through a railings of the bridge killing 11, lead to an examination of the bridge in 1951, followed by reinforcement by draw barriers and the amelioration of the pile foundation.

[3] October 14, 2005, the pontoon crane 'Lodbrok' collided with the bridge, causing a major traffic jam.
