Gröndal is a district of the Hägersten-Liljeholmen borough in Söderort, the southern suburban part of Stockholm, Sweden. The name Gröndal means Green Dale or Green Valley. Gröndal developed as a working class and industrial suburb after the opening of Liljeholmen freight station in the 1860s. The district was a part of Liljeholmen municipal community in the Brännkyrka municipality until 1913, when Brännkyrka was incorporated into the city of Stockholm.

Gröndalsbron are two bridges in central Stockholm, Sweden, connecting the island Stora Essingen to the southern mainland district Gröndal.
The older bridge, inaugurated in 1967, forms a 460-metre section of the Essingeleden motorway, of which 260 metres constitute the bridge, divided into three pre-stressed concrete frames, 70, 120, and 70 metres in length. Due to several ramps connecting to the bridge the width varies from 38 to 45 metres, while the horizontal clearance is 26 metres throughout the entire structure.
The second bridge, inaugurated in 2000, forms part of the Tvärbanan light rail line and is a 120 metres long pre-stressed concrete box girder bridge. After its inauguration, slip cracks have been discovered in the bridge, a discovery which was covered up for at least a year and the following revelation in media became a main local news event for some time. The bridge has since been reinforced and is still in operation.

Trekanten is a small lake in southern-central Stockholm, Sweden.
Trekanten is located in a park furnished with an artificial bathing beach and various planted-out fish species. It has a small drainage area with no major feeders. In the early 1980s, potable water was poured into the lake while water from the bottom of the lake was pumped out. These operations resulted in a significant reduction in levels of phosphorus but failed to affect levels of nutrients and oxygen depletion in the bottom layers. Levels of lead and copper are among the highest documented in any lake in Stockholm. Whilst the lake flora and fauna is roughly representative for Stockholm, the lake forms a natural link between the bays Årstaviken and Vinterviken.

Reimersholme is a small island in central Stockholm, lying to the west of Södermalm and to the south of the neighbouring island Långholmen. As of 2006 Reimersholme is inhabited by 2,324 people, living in 1,527 dwellings, and with an average annual income of SEK 306,500. 12 percent of the inhabitants have a foreign background. Until June 24, 1798 Reimersholme was called Räkneholmen. Its present name refers to Anders Reimers, a hatter and magistrate whose estate can still be found on the east side of the island.
Despite its vicinity to Södermalm, Reimersholme formed part of Brännkyrka parish and Liljeholmen municipality from 1898 until 1912, both of which are now part of the southern suburbs, and was not incorporated into the city of Stockholm until 1913 together with the remaining part of Brännkyrka. It formed part of the parish of Brännkyrka until 1957 when it became part of Högalid parish, the western part of Södermalm.
The first housing on the island was built in the 1880s close to Charlottenburg. A wool manufacturing plant, Stockholms Yllefabrik, was built during the 1860s where prisoners from Långholmen Prison used to work. The factory was declared bankrupt in 1934 and the area was bought by HSB, a corporative housing association, in 1939. HSB had 900 apartments built on the northern and eastern part of the island during the period 1942–1946. In the 1980s the remaining southern part of the island, previously a site occupied by the alcohol manufacturer Reymersholms Spritförädlings AB, was transformed into a housing area.
Reimersholme is connected to Stockholm by the bridge Reimersholmsbron, which is 39 meters long and 13 meters wide. Bus services to the city have been operated since 1967 by bus line 66 and since 1986 by bus line 40. In 2015, the bus line 40 was discontinued and replaced with the new line 54.

Essingebron are two parallel bridges in central Stockholm, Sweden, inaugurated August 21, 1966, and September 3, 1967. Forming a section of the Essingeleden motorway, they connect the two Essingen Islands and are the most heavily trafficked bridges in Sweden. The current bridges replaced a bridge called Stora Essingebron inaugurated on May 10, 1965, as the motorway being built then resulted in a number of bridges connecting to Stora Essingen and the name was considered ambiguous.. The motorway bridges are paralleled by a bridge for local use, Gamla Essinge Broväg.
The increasing number of summer residences built on Stora Essingen during the 18th century were during the early 20th century gradually transformed into permanent residences. Therefore, a first temporary Stora Essingebron was built in 1917 using the rafts of the X-shaped pontoon bridge once in service on the ice of Lake Riddarfjärden during winters. Across the central seaway, a hand-pulled ferry connected the two pathways until replaced by a flap in 1921.
Finally in 1927 the city council decided on building a permanent bridge, inaugurated the following year. The central part of the steel construction spanned the 185 metres between the islands, using five 40 metres long spans, and was continuous on both sides with viaducts giving the entire bridge a total length of 339 metres. It was 7,6 metres wide with a 5,2 metres wide roadway, and offered an horizontal clearance of 13 metres. A severe bus accident in 1948 when a bus crashed through a railings of the bridge killing 11, led to an examination of the bridge in 1951, followed by reinforcement by draw barriers and the amelioration of the pile foundation.
In contrast to many of the other bridges in Stockholm, the route passing over the bridge was a cul-de-sac, and the bridge could therefore handle the increasing post-WW2 traffic load. However, with the construction of the Essingeleden motorway, the old bridge had to be scrapped and replaced by a new one, inaugurated in 1966. Gamla Essinge Broväg is 470 metres long; 11 metres wide with an 8 metres roadway; and offers a horizontal clearance of 16 metres between the major 100 metres wide span.
On October 14, 2005, the pontoon crane 'Lodbrok' collided with the bridge, causing a major traffic jam.
Description
Gröndal est situé dans la partie sud de Stockholm Sa superficie est de 0,91 kilomètres carrés. Gröndal a commencé à se développer en tant que banlieue ouvrière et industrielle en relation avec l'extension de la ligne Västra stambanan (sv) au-delà de Liljeholmen dans les années 1860. Le quartier de Gröndal a été créé en 1926 sous le nom d'Ekensberg. Son nom actuel date de 1934. Ce quartier est connu pour ses immeubles d'habitation en forme d'étoile, Stjärnhus, construits dans les années 1940. Ils ont été conçus par le cabinet d'architectes suédois Backström & Reinius Arkitekter AB. La zone était autrefois une zone de villas et vers 1913, il y avait une centaine de villas en location, dont certaines seulement ont été sauvées de la démolition dans les années 1970.
