Solnabron (Swedish: "The Solna Bridge") is a viaduct in Sweden. Stretching over the Norra Station area and the Norra länken motorway, it connects the municipalities Stockholm and Solna.
When inaugurated in 1942, the bridge opened an important new connection between the two municipalities, at the same time as the hospital and scientific institutions were being located to what is today the Karolinska University Hospital, located north of the bridge.[1]
The viaduct is 230 metres long and 27 metres wide; the roadway is made of a reinforced concrete floor resting on welded iron girders passing over columns pinned at both ends.[1]
During the negotiations preceding the construction, the Swedish State Railways, owner of the railway yard under the bridge, urged the columns to be moveable in order to secure the possibility to rearrange the tracks of the depot in the future. Though this possibility never was actually used, most of the pillars are still moveable.[1]
