The newly inaugurated Tullgarnsbron in Uppsala has become inoperable merely days after its opening, having stuck in its raised position.
Costing around 140 million kronor and two years in construction, the bridge's malfunction has disappointed local officials and residents alike.
Initial reports suggest that the issue might not stem from the bridge's design but rather from improper assembly.
KTH Professor and bridge expert Raied Karoumi is investigating the cause, while authorities are urgently looking for solutions to rectify the problem.
The exact timeline for the bridge's repair remains uncertain, highlighting the complexity of the situation.
