Skeppsholmsbron, Metal bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden

Skeppsholmsbron is a metal bridge in central Stockholm that connects Blasieholmen peninsula to Skeppsholmen island across the city's waters. The structure features five arches, a central roadway, and pedestrian walkways on both sides for crossing.

A wooden bridge on piles, Holmbron, was built here in 1638–1640 by the admiralty when the navy moved to Skeppsholmen; it burned in 1822 and a pontoon bridge served until 1861. That year Motala Verkstad delivered the present forged-iron bridge, funded and still owned by the state. Within 15 years it had shifted and was straightened with diagonal braces; further reinforcement came in the early 1950s and 1980s.

The two gilded crowns at the bridge's midpoint echo the crowns on Sweden's coat of arms. According to the Swedish Wikipedia article, they have sometimes been taken as tourist souvenirs. The bridge is still owned by the state.

The roadway is only 5.5 metres wide, so oncoming vehicle traffic cannot pass; crossing is controlled by traffic signals. Two 2-metre walkways flank the roadway. The bridge links Blasieholmen to Skeppsholmen and is the usual walking route to the island's museums.

The bridge received protection status in 1935 along with other structures on Skeppsholmen, preventing changes to its exterior for decades. Policy shifts in the 1990s later allowed for modernizations while preserving its historic appearance.
