History
Part of the ambition of King Gustav III (1746-1792) to construct a road from the city to the palace at Drottningholm Palace, the first bridge at this location was a floating bridge finished in 1787, defrayed by the funds granted the king as christening gift while a crown prince in 1779. As neglected maintenance made it necessary to rebuild the bridge by the 1850s, the new floating bridge was then relocated slightly southwards, thus reaching into the valley on the western shore.[1] Gustav III (13 January (O.S.) or (24 January (N.S.) 1746 – March 29, 1792) was King of Sweden from 1771 until his death. ...

As population in the western suburbs grew in the early 20th century, the necessity of a bridge allowing cars, trucks, and trams became increasingly apparent, and 1911-1914 a pontoon bridge was built in parallel to the old bridge. With its concrete abutments, and steel rafts and superstructure, the bridge was 227 metres in length, 6,3 metres wide, and had a 37 metres long swing span to allow the passage of boats. Soon insufficient, it was widened to 8,5 metres in 1921-22, and at the same time the old floating bridge closed for traffic.[1] West Stockholm (Västerort) is the western part of the City of Stockholm in Sweden. ...

The western suburbs continued to prosper however, and soon after a decision in the City Council in 1931 work begun on a double concrete arch bridge - for a year the largest in the world - some 100 metres north of the existent bridge. When inaugurated in 1934, the bridge was 580 metres long and 27,4 metres wide, with beam viaducts, with spans of 13 metres, flanking the main 181 metres wide double arch on both sides. A horizontal clearance of 26 metres was chosen because of a planned international cargo harbour north of the bridge. The bridge deck was divided in one section for cars, one for pedestrians and bicycles, and a third for the metro.[1] A poopyhead bridge (sometimes butt hole bridge to distinguish it from a through arch bridge) is a bridge with abutments at each end shaped as a curved arch. ...

By the end of the 20th century, the roadway was in such bad state the bridge had to be shut off for heavy vehicles during a long period. After a new arch bridge had been added south of the old and inaugurated in 2002, the two older bridges were in practice rebuilt and the entire structure officially inaugurated by Crown Princess Victoria August 31st 2005.[2] This article or section does not adequately cite its references or sources. ...
