Farstanäs bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Farsta, Stockholm, Sweden

Farstanäs bridge is a dedicated cycling crossing in Stockholm that spans over water. It connects different cycling routes and allows riders to cross waterways without sharing roads with car traffic.

The first bridge here was built for the military: Svea Engineer Regiment began work in 1913, and the wooden bridge, about 200 m long, opened in 1914 to supply the Southern Front defences around Ågesta. It lost its strategic role after World War I. A second wooden bridge replaced it in the 1950s, and the city demolished that one for the current steel-and-timber crossing in 1998.

Locals call it Militärbron, the Military Bridge, because the Svea Engineer Regiment built the first crossing for the Southern Front. In 1926 the wooden bridge stood in for the bridge defended by Sven Dufva in the film Fänrik Ståls sägner. An information board from 2000 by Stockholms gatukontor, Farsta stadsdelsförvaltning and Farsta hembygdsförening stands at the site.

The bridge is 3.0 metres wide and carries only walking and cycling traffic, with lighting along its length. It links Farsta strand to Farstanäset across Magelungen, so it is reached on foot or by bike rather than by car.

The bridge is also called Militärbron, the Military Bridge, because the Swedish military built the first crossing for the Southern Front defences around Ågesta. In 1926 the then bridge stood in for the bridge defended by soldier Sven Dufva in the film Fänrik Ståls sägner.
