Auransilta, Stone bridge in central Turku, Finland
Auransilta spans 47 meters across the Aurajoki River, featuring a width of 12 meters that accommodates both pedestrians and cyclists crossing between riverbanks.
The construction of Auransilta in 1907 marked a significant development in Turku's infrastructure, establishing a permanent connection between the eastern and western sections of the city.
The bridge connects multiple sections of the Turku Cathedral district, forming an integral part of the route residents take during traditional riverside festivals and celebrations.
The structure includes designated lanes for different types of traffic, enabling efficient movement while providing spots where visitors can pause to view the river.
Local terminology distinguishes the areas connected by the bridge, with 'täl puol jokke' referring to the east bank and 'tois puol jokke' to the west bank.
