Östra bron, Stone arch bridge in Karlstad, Sweden
The Östra bron stretches 168 meters across the east branch of Klarälven River, featuring twelve stone arches that connect the districts of Haga and Norrstrand.
Between 1761 and 1811, master builder Anders Jacobsson led the construction of this bridge using stones from Lamberget quarry in Karlstad.
The bridge maintains its status as Sweden's longest stone arch bridge, representing early nineteenth-century engineering methods and construction techniques.
Located 600 meters northeast of Karlstad's Town Square, the bridge serves as an essential connection point for the Klarälvsbanan cycling path network.
The structure contains twelve consecutive stone arches spanning the river, demonstrating the advanced architectural capabilities of Swedish builders from that period.
