Lindhagensplan, Urban bicycle bridge and cycling infrastructure in Stockholm, Sweden
Lindhagensplan is a traffic junction and roundabout on Kungsholmen in central Stockholm, where Drottningholmsvägen meets Lindhagensgatan and roads toward Rålambshovsleden and Norr Mälarstrand. The roundabout, opened in 1952, carries the Green Line metro beneath it and marks the boundary between Kristineberg, Stadshagen and Marieberg.
Lindhagensplan was named in 1938 after city planner Albert Lindhagen, the leading figure behind Stockholm's street regulations of the 1860s and 1870s. At that time it was an ordinary crossing between Drottningholmsvägen and Lindhagensgatan. The present roundabout and the crossing with the metro were inaugurated in 1952, the year the green line began passing beneath the circle.
The name honours Albert Lindhagen, the planner behind Stockholm's street regulations of the 1860s and 1870s; the junction was named after him in 1938. Since 2008 the Snöflingan housing area with a hotel has risen on the former Rålambshovsbacken slope, where Drottningholmsvägen and the metro are being covered over to form a tree-lined esplanade.
The junction sits where Drottningholmsvägen meets Lindhagensgatan, with lanes toward Rålambshovsleden and Norr Mälarstrand. The green metro line runs beneath the roundabout, so follow signs for your exit rather than expecting a simple crossing. The boundary between Kristineberg, Stadshagen and Marieberg meets here.
The roundabout sits where the boundaries of Kristineberg, Stadshagen and Marieberg meet, and the green metro line has run in a tunnel beneath it since 1952. The name, given in 1938, honours city planner Albert Lindhagen, who drew up Stockholm's street regulations in the 1860s and 1870s.
