Kungsbron

Stretching over Klara Sjö, it connects Norrmalm to Kungsholmen.

In 1881, an old wooden bridge spanning Klara sjö ("Lake Klara") was replaced by a 10,7 metres wide steel swing bridge, hand-driven until electricity in 1906 made operation of the bridge three times faster.

[1] A steel two-hinged arch bridge with a single span of 42 metres was added in 1907 stretching over the older bridge.

[1] The swing bridge was replaced in 1944 by two one-way concrete arch bridges, each 14 metres wide with a maximum span of 68 metres.

[1] The bridge(s) forms the continuation of Kungsgatan ("The King Street"), which was given its name in 1881, most likely chosen because it crosses Drottninggatan ("The Queen Street").
