The bridge spans the Hammarbyleden canal, which carries the water of Hammarby Sjö to Saltsjön. It consists of two separate bridges which carry the Saltsjöbanan railway and a road. It is one of four movable bridges in Stockholm.

For unknown reasons, the location of the bridge, like many other places along the shores of Sweden and Norway, was named 'Danviken', meaning danernas vik, "The Bay of the Danes", and until the early 20th century most people called it Dannviken, rather than the common contemporary pronunciation of Daanviken.
