Skanstullsbron

Overpassing the older bridge Skansbron, it connects the major island Södermalm to the southern district Johanneshov.

It remained the favoured bridge design to solve the increasing traffic load of the area during the 1920s and 1930s and was approved by the city council in 1939.

World War II led to shortage of both finance and material, but work was started in 1944 and the new bridge was inaugurated in 1947.

[1] Skanstullsbron is a concrete double viaduct, with one bridge for vehicles and pedestrians and the other for the metro.

The three central spans, 118, 112, and 106 metres long, offer a maximum horizontal clearance of 32 metres and a panoramic view of the surrounding city.
