Skuru Bridge

HIGHWAY DECK — The highway is placed on a defined stretch and will become a high-speed link between Nacka, Värmdö and Stockholm city as well as the region as a whole.

SLENDER PILLARS INTEGRATED IN THE PARK'S GREENERY — The constructive support required to brace the roadway consists of slen-der, reflective steel composite columns. The pillars are organized accord-ing to a seemingly irregular system which allows them to be integrated among the forest trees.

LESS ATTRACTIVE AREAS BY THE HIGHWAY — On both the east and west sides of the Skuru strait there have been formed less attractive areas adjacent to the new highway. An important part of the design of the new bridge is that even in these areas create a positive experience for visitors and residents

PARK EXTENSION — The wild landscape surrounding the bridge grasps the arch, spreading out over the surface. This creates an extension of the neighboring natural and cultural landscape in the form of an attractive park linking Skuru Park with the eastern side of the strait. An extensive trail system connects the bridge to the surrounding areas on the respective sides of the bridge.

LANDSCAPE CONNECTION — By extending the landscape across the channel along an arch shape, free passage is given to boats, creating a physical link from one shore bank to the other.

THE SOUTHERNMOST OF THE SKURU BRIDGES DEMOLISHED — The southern and the older of the existing parallel bridges are in very poor condition and must unfortunately be demolished. Most of the traffic will instead follow a new motorway route.
