Johanneshovsbron, Road bridge in Södermalm, Sweden.
Johanneshovsbron is a road bridge in Stockholm that spans approximately 750 meters across central waterways and urban areas. It links Södermalm and Johanneshov while accommodating vehicle traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists.
Johanneshovsbron opened to traffic on 9 October 1984. It was built because the existing Skanstullsbron, aligned with Götgatan, did not meet the new Söderledstunneln, so a new high bridge was needed to link the tunnel with Nynäsvägen. The bridge forms part of the north-south axis through central Stockholm.
The bridge's name comes from Johanneshov, the district at its southern end, and Stockholmers use it daily as part of the north-south axis through the city. Its hollow box girder was cast in prestressed concrete, with pier positions set to match Skanstullsbron's columns so the spans there are twice as long.
Johanneshovsbron has no direct connection to Götgatan or Skanstull; in the north it links only to the Söderledstunneln, and in the south to Nynäsvägen and the upper level of the Johanneshov interchange roundabout. From there, Gullmarsplan and Skanstullsbron can be reached. The Tvärbanan tram passes beneath the bridge on Fredriksdalsbron.
The structure passes above three other bridges below it: Skansbron, Skanstullsbron, and Fredriksdalsbron. This layered arrangement creates an unusual multi-level crossing pattern across Stockholm's waterways.
