Västerbron, Steel arch bridge in Stockholm, Sweden
The 600-meter Västerbron spans across Riddarfjärden waterway with two main steel arches measuring 204 and 168 meters in length connecting northern and southern Stockholm.
The bridge, designed by architects Paul Hedqvist, David Dahl, and Birger Borgström, opened on November 20, 1935 as the second fixed connection between Stockholm's northern and southern districts.
The installation of blue enamel plaques on Västerbron reflects its recognition as a structure of architectural and historical value by the Stockholm City Museum.
The bridge structure underwent modifications in 1955 to accommodate additional bicycle lanes, addressing the increased traffic demands following World War II.
Västerbron holds the distinction of being Sweden's longest steel arch bridge, featuring a welded steel superstructure that marked an engineering milestone in Swedish bridge construction.
