Sankt Eriksbron, Steel bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden

Sankt Eriksbron extends 227 meters across Barnhusviken, connecting the districts of Kungsholmen and Norrmalm with pedestrian walkways on both sides.

The bridge, inaugurated in 1906 by Crown Prince Gustaf V, underwent major reconstruction between 1934 and 1937 to accommodate increasing traffic demands.

The bridge carries the name of Eric IX of Sweden, the patron saint of Stockholm, reflecting the city's practice of patriotic naming during the 1880s.

The structure serves thousands of daily commuters with its dual-level design, accommodating vehicles on the upper deck and metro trains on the lower level.

Sankt Eriksbron became Stockholm's first double-decker bridge in 1944 when engineers added a lower level for the underground railway system.
