The bridge was built during a trend to build wooden apartment houses here in Sweden, and probably all over Scandinavia.
This fad has now passed and there have been several news stories about what a bad idea it was. I guess they were trying to get back to using more natural materials.
- hnbad 3y agoThere's nothing wrong with wood frame construction, if it's done right. It sounds like they didn't do it right, though.
- sorenjan 3y agoThere were 250% more apartments built from wood built in 2022 than in 2012. In total 14.4% of all new apartments finished in 2022 used wood. https://www.di.se/hallbart-naringsliv/trahustrenden-nar-nya-hojder-i-staderna/ https://www.di.se/hallbart-naringsliv/trahustrenden-nar-nya-... https://www.tmf.se/bransch-naringspolitik/branschutveckling/statistik/trahus/flerbostadshus/ https://www.tmf.se/bransch-naringspolitik/branschutveckling/...
- INTPenis 3y agoThat's true, I had missed how popular they had become. My brother briefly lived in a wooden apartment building around 2017 and after they moved out I noticed a few criticism of the new wooden trend. Then I just lost track of it. The trend goes back to 2014 even, so it wouldn't surprise me if this wooden bridge built in 2012 was part of that whole wave.
