Katarina gångbro

Katarina gångbro is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge that connects Mosebacke Square with the KF building and Katarina elevator. The structure spans across Katarinavägen using a concrete deck supported by steel supports anchored into the hillside.

An earlier iron lattice bridge was replaced in 1936 with a new design created by architects Eskil Sundahl and Olof Thunström. This reconstruction reflected Stockholm's modernization efforts in its expanding neighborhoods during that period.

The bridge links residential Södermalm with commercial areas, serving as a daily passage for locals moving between home and work. It has become woven into how people navigate this part of the city.

The bridge is open year-round and wide enough for pedestrians and cyclists to pass side by side without difficulty. Plan for the exposed height if you prefer to avoid exposed crossings high above traffic.

The bridge's support pillar is anchored directly into a rock face of Katarina Mountain, engineered to work with the natural slope rather than against it. This integration into the hillside makes the structure blend into its surroundings in an unexpected way.
