Norrbro, Arch bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden
Norrbro is a granite arch bridge extending northward from the Royal Palace and spanning the Norrström waters to reach Gustav Adolfs torg. The structure measures 19 meters in width with separate pavements on each side.
Completed in 1806, the bridge replaced two earlier wooden structures that had served the location. Its construction marked the introduction of advanced engineering techniques for Stockholms bridge building.
The neoclassical design connects several national landmarks including the Royal Palace and Parliament Building. Its location reflects how Stockholm valued linking its central government areas together.
The bridge offers a direct walking route between the palace area and the northern old town and is free to cross at any time. The separate pedestrian path makes it easy to avoid vehicle traffic.
The construction used an innovative water-filled barge method that sank to create foundations. The reusable walls of this floating caisson allowed efficient building of multiple support pillars.
