The decision was made by the naming committee on April 21, according to official sources. The new bridge, which will span the railway at the height of Vimpelgatan, will be named Sofielundsbron. The exact location and specifications of the bridge have not been disclosed.
It remains unclear when the bridge will be completed and opened for public use. Alternative names considered by the committee have not been revealed. The cost and funding source for the construction are also unknown.
The impact of the bridge on traffic and connectivity in the area has yet to be assessed.
