Strömbron - Motala, Sweden - Arch Bridges on Waymarking.com

The Strömbron from 1787 is an Arch Bridge that connects Motala and Vadstena. The bridge is located where Lake Vätteren becomes a narrow stream that flows into Lake Boren.

When the bridge was completed, it had become much more expensive than planned, and therefore in the first years, bridge fees were charged for passing

The bridge is a stone bridge with later repairs in cement. It has as many as 9 arches, is 110 meters long and 8 meters wide.
Cars and pedestrians can use the bridge. Railings on both sides of the bridge are decorated with flowers.

In fact, there have been several bridges at the site. However, these have been built of wood, and have therefore not been durable. One of the bridges was destroyed by the Swedes in 1567 to prevent the Danes, who were on a campaign in Östergötland, from passing the bridge.
