Klarabergsviadukten, Steel viaduct in central Stockholm, Sweden
Klarabergsviadukten is a steel bridge in central Stockholm that spans across water to connect Norrmalm with Kungsholmen. Multiple steel sections support the structure and carry vehicle traffic between these districts.
The project grew from plans in the 1920s to connect Stockholm with western areas of the city. The bridge was completed in 1961 and represents the city's expansion and modernization after World War II.
The bridge reflects mid-20th century Swedish engineering principles with its 31-meter width and varying span lengths across the railway yard.
The bridge's surface is organized with different traffic areas, some used for parking. Pedestrians and cyclists should be aware this is primarily a vehicle route.
Despite initial plans for a motorway, the bridge's large dimensions now accommodate alternative uses, including dedicated parking zones along its span.
