Rust damage was discovered on the Strömsundsbron bridge’s pendulum bearings in 2023, according to an inspection report obtained by SVT. Despite this finding, the pendulum bearings were still assessed as being “in good condition.” Professor John Leander, a bridge construction expert at Kungliga Tekniska högskolan (KTH), stated that corrosion is a serious issue and such indications should be taken seriously. The discovery raises questions about the initial assessment of the bridge’s condition. The inspection protocol details the presence of corrosion on the critical components. This finding occurred a year before planned renovation work on the Strömsundsbron is scheduled to begin. Further investigation may be needed to determine the extent of the corrosion and its potential impact on the bridge’s long-term stability.
