Norrbro, Arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden
The granite Norrbro bridge extends northward from the Royal Palace, spanning over Helgeandsholmen before reaching Gustav Adolfs torg across the Norrström waters.
Completed in 1806, Norrbro replaced two wooden bridges and introduced advanced construction methods, including a revolutionary barge-based technique for pillar foundations.
The neoclassical design by architect Erik Palmstedt connects several national landmarks, including the Royal Palace and the Parliament Building in Stockholm.
The bridge measures 19 meters in width and includes separate pavements, making it the first street in Stockholm with dedicated pedestrian walkways.
Engineers used an innovative construction method involving a water-filled barge that sank to create the foundation, with reusable walls for subsequent pillars.
