Lidingöbron, Transport bridge in Stockholm, Sweden
Lidingöbron is a transport bridge connecting the island of Lidingö to mainland Stockholm, stretching nearly 1 kilometer across the water. The structure is supported by concrete pillars and carries pedestrians, cyclists, and a tram service to the island.
The first wooden bridge was built in 1803, connecting the island to the mainland for the first time. The current structure was completed in 1925, replacing earlier designs with modern engineering.
The structure takes its name from the island it serves and has connected the community to the city for over two centuries. It remains an essential part of daily life for those traveling between the island and the mainland.
The bridge provides wide paths for pedestrians and cyclists with clear signage and is accessible daily without charge. The crossing is straightforward and remains passable in most weather conditions, though strong winds can occur over the water.
The bridge features rest areas with views of the water where visitors can pause and take in the surroundings. These stopping points are used by regular commuters who value the moment of calm during their journey.
