Ukko-Pekka Bridge, Concrete arch footbridge in Naantali, Finland.

The Ukko-Pekka Bridge extends across 211 meters over the Archipelago Sea, connecting different sections of Naantali through its concrete arch design.

Originally constructed as a road bridge in 1934, this structure shifted its purpose in 1986 to become exclusively dedicated to pedestrian traffic.

The bridge received its name from Pehr Evind Svinhufvud and welcomed King Gustaf V of Sweden during his visit to Finland in 1936.

Located at coordinates 60.461389 latitude and 22.019444 longitude, the bridge provides direct access between Naantali and Luonnonmaa for pedestrians.

The engineering design from the 1930s demonstrates early concrete arch construction techniques while maintaining its structural integrity for nearly 90 years.
