sentences:  Before the bridge Vasabron was constructed in the 1870s, the alley was a peripheral passage leading to a remote quay and, as its width of 7 metres still knows to tell, it was not designed to take up heavy traffic loads.With the completion of the bridge things changed considerably, and, as intimated by the bridge, the intention in the 19th century was to widen the alley at the expense of the Bonde Palace to give space to a second roadway.As these plans were never carried out, traffic is still forced to make a detour around the intact palace.
