Hämeensilta, Arch bridge in Tampere, Finland.
The Hämeensilta spans 68 meters across the Tammerkoski rapids, featuring red granite-coated concrete arches that support both road and tram traffic.
The current structure, completed in 1929, replaced earlier wooden and steel bridges that had served the growing industrial city since the 16th century.
Four bronze statues by sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen stand on the bridge, representing the Finnish Maiden, Tax Collector, Tradesman, and Hunter figures.
The bridge connects the Kyttälä district to western Tampere along Hämeenkatu street, accommodating vehicles, trams, cyclists, and pedestrians with its 28.5-meter width.
The Finnish Maiden statue from the bridge gained international recognition when it appeared on a postage stamp and at the 1939 New York World's Fair.
