Essingebron, Transport bridge in Stora Essingen, Sweden.

The Essingebron consists of two parallel bridges spanning across water, connecting Stora Essingen and Lilla Essingen islands in central Stockholm.

Constructed in 1966, the bridge replaced an older structure from 1928 that could no longer handle the increasing post-World War II traffic demands.

The bridge represents Swedish engineering capabilities of the 1960s, reflecting the nation's commitment to infrastructure development during rapid urbanization.

As part of the Essingeleden motorway, this bridge system handles the highest traffic volume of any bridge structure in Sweden.

In 2005, the bridge experienced a notable incident when a pontoon crane named Lodbrok collided with its structure, causing major traffic disruptions.
