Malmskillnadsbron, bridge leading Malmskillnadsgatan over Kungsgatan, Stockholm, Sweden
Malmskillnadsbron is a reinforced concrete arch bridge in central Stockholm that spans Kungsgatan street. The structure measures about 24 meters long and 9 meters wide between railings, with a road surface originally laid with cobblestones and topped with granite slabs for a sturdy appearance.
The bridge was built in 1911 when the ground beneath it was excavated to create Kungsgatan street. It was part of early twentieth century development that connected different parts of downtown Stockholm and improved city traffic flow.
The bridge is accessible mainly to pedestrians and cyclists, providing a quick route to cross from Malmskillnadsgatan to the opposite side of Kungsgatan. Its straightforward design makes it easy to navigate and helps you get around the busy downtown area.
The bridge's name comes from Malmskillnadsgatan street and refers to a historical ground level difference that once existed in the area but was eliminated during the city's modernization. This naming choice preserves the memory of landscape changes that accompanied Stockholm's early twentieth century growth.
