Erik Andersson and White has won an invited competition to develop the Tullhusplatsen in Stockholm. We have been working to strengthen the links between the National City Park and the city as well as to create a place that addresses the historical use of the site. Tullhusplatsen is and has long been the northern entrance to the city. Now Stockholm and Solna grow together, and Tullhusplatsen becomes part of the city instead of a place outside of it. We see Tullhusplatsen as a vibrant place where many pass by with different means of transportation.
But it will also be an important place for activity and stay. We deal with environmental challenges through noise reduction measures and the treatment of water that allows for purification and will benefit the vegetation in place. A bridge with a light and elegant expression connects the same neighborhoods in the east-west direction, while creating a new location with views towards Brunnsviken and towards the city. We look forward to developing the proposal together further with the city’s project organization and continuing to work in a joint and committed team in the coming years.
The bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle bridge made of steel and is 179 m long. It is between 6.8m to 11.6m wide. The spans are between 15.6m and 26m. The height of the structure is between 0.8m and 1.6m. Technical lifespan 120 years. The handrails of the bridge have bird-safe glass and built-in LED armatures.
