King Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia attend on Tuesday 17th September at the inauguration of Folke Bernadotte Bridge on Royal Djurgården.
The Folke Bernadotte Bridge – a bridge across Djurgårdsbrunn Bay, linking Museiparken with Rosendal – will open in September 2019.
Construction of the bridge began autumn 2018, and the foundation was delivered in June 2019. On Tuesday 4 June, the side sections were hoisted into place using a crane on a barge in Djurgårdsbrunn Bay. The central section was installed the following day, completing the construction of the bridge.
The Folke Bernadotte Bridge
The Royal Djurgården Administration will now be building a bridge across the bay, linking the various parts of Royal Djurgården, on the very spot where King Karl XIV Johan built his floating bridge.
The bridge will be eight metres long, bridging the canal between Museiparken and Rosendal with a single, slender steel span.
The bridge will be named in memory of Count Folke Bernadotte. He was appointed as the UN's first mediator following the Second World War. Folke Bernadotte lived at Dragongården, next to Museiparken (now the Chinese Embassy).
Linking southern and northern Djurgården
With its palace, palace park and famous gardens, Rosendal is sometimes overlooked as visitors make their way along Djurgårdsvägen. However, the new bridge will open up new routes for pedestrians and cyclists.

Welcome to the royal inauguration of the new footbridge across the Djurgården Canal. Premiere walk across the bridge and start or end with a free view of Rosendal Palace.
On Tuesday, September 17, Folke Bernadotte's bridge, a pedestrian bridge across Djurgårdsbrunn Bay will be opened, which will link the Museum Park with Rosendal.
Royal inauguration at. 11:00
Everyone is welcome to the inauguration, which starts at. 11.00 in the presence of the Royal Couple. The ceremony takes place at the northern abutment near Djurgårdsbrunn Bay, below the Technical Museum.
The king holds the inauguration speech, after the welcome words from the Marshal of the Realm Fredrik Wersäll. At the inauguration, court trumpeter Olle Hermansen and Brass Quintet from Life Guards' Dragoon Music Corps also participate under the direction of Carl Löfvenius Hellman.
Views of Rosendal Palace from 14:00
The first Bernadotte Karl XIV Johan had constructed a bridge in the same place in 1820. Via it, the king got a more enjoyable ride from Rosendal Palace to the military parades on the other side of the Djurgården Canal.
In honour of the day there is a free entrance to Karl XIV Johan's pleasure palace. The palace stands largely untouched since Karl Johan's time, and is one of the country's foremost examples of Swedish empirical style.
The showings are given every half hour between 14.00 and 16.30 (the last starts at 16.30).
