Skansbron, Bascule bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden

Skansbron is a double-leaf steel bascule bridge over the Hammarbykanalen, linking Södermalm with Södra Hammarbyhamnen and Årsta. It is 14.9 metres wide, with a 10.7-metre roadway and a horizontal clearance of 12.5 metres. The bridge was built by the Harbour Board's engineers and opened in 1925.

Skansbron opened in 1925 as part of a larger infrastructure project that also produced Danviksbron (1922), Liljeholmsbron (1928), Årstabron (1929), Hammarby sluss and Hammarbyleden (1930). The double-leaf steel bridge was designed by the Port Authority's engineers to reroute ship traffic south of Södermalm, a plan delayed by World War I and begun in 1923.

The name comes from historical fortifications that once marked the area. Today, the bridge serves as a daily route for people moving between residential neighborhoods and working districts across the water.

The bridge is accessible to pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, offering a direct crossing over the canal. It is best used during daylight hours when the surrounding area is active and traffic patterns are predictable.

The temporary wooden viaduct used during construction was 98 metres long, with a central main span of 32.5 metres. Beneath its roadway ran pipes for water, electricity, gas and sewer, so utility lines crossed the canal before the bridge itself opened.
