This is a list of some of the most notable bridges and viaducts in Stockholm , starting with those located closest to the city centre. Many more bridges and viaducts could, of course, be added, including those on the rail and motorway networks, and the many grade-separated junctions in the suburbs which are a product of postwar city planning. [1]
Additionally, during the cold winters in the 19th century, ice in the city harbour made it necessary to replace ferries by temporary pontoon bridges sometimes more than 300 m in length. [1]

For a couple of years, it was replaced by a temporary bridge made largely from wood, before finally being replaced with a permanent overbuild. The stretch is now simply designated as Solnavägen instead of Solnabron.
