Strömbron

The 140-meter concrete and steel bridge spans over Norrström river, connecting the district of Norrmalm with the historical district of Gamla Stan.

The City Council approved the construction of a 20-meter-wide bridge in 1946 as a temporary solution to address traffic congestion issues.

The bridge functions as a meeting point for local fishermen who gather during summer to catch salmon and trout in the Norrström waters.

The structure rests on concrete plinths founded on wooden poles and remains operational despite exceeding its intended service duration by several decades.

The bridge name originated from a debate among city officials rather than its geographical position over the stream, as local historical records suggest.
