Huvudstabron, Road bridge in Huvudsta, Solna, Sweden
Huvudstabron is a pre-stressed concrete bridge over Bällstaviken between Ulvsunda in Stockholm and Huvudsta in Solna. It is 286 metres long with six spans, the longest measuring 100 metres over the strait, and 28.2 metres wide. Two footways, each three metres wide, are separated from the roadway by railings.
A first bridge at the site was proposed in the 1930s but never built. The 1960 general plan revived the idea through the planned Huvudstaleden arterial road, and Huvudstabron was built in 1964–67 as the first stage of that project. The name Ulvsunda Bro was proposed during planning, but after a consultation the bridge was named Huvudstabron.
The bridge incorporates dedicated footways separated by railings, reflecting Swedish engineering principles that prioritize safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Huvudstabron carries Huvudstaleden over Bällstaviken, with two 3-metre-wide footways separated from the roadway by railings. The central span over the strait is 100 metres long and gives a clearance of 24 metres for boats passing below.
The bridge structure features two 3-meter-wide footways within its total width of 28.2 meters, enabling separate paths for different types of traffic.
