Jännevirta bridge, Road bridge in Siilinjärvi, Finland
The Jännevirta Bridge is a road bridge in Siilinjärvi that spans across a waterway using large steel beams and multiple sections. The structure is designed to carry vehicle traffic safely across this crossing point.
An earlier bridge at this location was replaced by a new structure that began construction in 2016 and opened to traffic in 2018. This renewal was necessary to meet modern transportation demands.
The bridge carries Highway 9, connecting the cities of Joensuu and Kuopio, supporting regional transportation and economic development in eastern Finland.
The bridge has sufficient height to allow ships and boats to pass underneath. Vehicle drivers should observe standard traffic rules when using the crossing.
Standing as Finland's sixth longest bridge, the Jännevirta Bridge undergoes regular maintenance to fulfill its projected 100-year operational lifespan.
