Vasabron, Steel bridge in central Stockholm, Sweden
Vasabron stretches 208 meters across Norrström, connecting the districts of Norrmalm and Gamla Stan through seven distinct steel arches.
The bridge construction started in 1872 following a design competition, incorporating innovative underwater cast concrete techniques during its six-year development.
The structure bears the name of King Gustav Vasa, with its location near the monarch's statue at the House of Knights reinforcing Swedish heritage.
The bridge serves both vehicles and pedestrians, providing direct access between Stockholm's modern district and medieval center throughout the day.
The bridge design included end grain wood blocks placed on concrete foundations, creating a specialized roadway surface for transportation needs.
