Nybrua

Nybrua

Nybrua is a bridge over the Akerselva in Oslo. The bridge lies in the area of Grünerløkka and links the streets Storgata with Trondheimsveien and Thorvald Meyers gate.

Nybrua was built in 1827. At the same time, Storgata was lengthened and the bottom part of Trondheimsveien was created. As Christiania's most important entrance point from the North, it became a part of Trondhjemske hovedvei. Later, Brugata, Vaterlands bru and Lakkegata were also added to the route, to the north of the city.

Nybrua was later extended and strengthened to take trams and modern motor traffic, but parts of the original structure can still be seen.
