Sickla kanalbro

Sickla kanalbro (Swedish: "Sickla Canal Bridge") is a bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden.

The name Sickla is believed to be derived from a 15th-century provincial word, sik, meaning "minor marsh".

[1] A product of post-WW2 traffic loads, the bridge was built 1954-1955 as a continuous steel girder bridge resting on four supports and carrying a concrete roadway.

The supports are built on a foundation of concrete poles, while the abutments are resting directly on the bedrock.

The bridge was originally built with a future widening in mind, something which had to wait until 1979 when a 2,6 metres wide cantilevering pathway was added on the south side of the roadway.
