Auroransilta, Footbridge in Helsinki, Finland

The steel arch bridge spans 165 meters across Nordenskiöldinkatu street, with dual semi-arches rising 20 meters above the ground and a width of 5 meters.

Construction of the bridge commenced in August 2011, and the structure officially opened for public use on November 23, 2012, after receiving the RIL Award.

The name Auroransilta pays tribute to Aurora Karamzin, joining numerous other Helsinki landmarks that commemorate this notable historical figure through their nomenclature.

Pedestrians, cyclists, and cross-country skiers can utilize this connection between Laakso, Pasilan, and Taka-Töölö districts throughout different seasons of the year.

The bridge features a specialized design with two steel structures forming semi-arches, spanning 55 meters and connecting various sections of Helsinki's central parks.
