Raittisilta, Footbridge and bicycle bridge in Vuosaari, Finland

The Raittisilta bridge extends 416 meters across Vartiokylänlahti Bay with a width of 6.5 meters, connecting multiple neighborhoods in Helsinki.

Construction of the bridge commenced in June 2017, and the structure opened to traffic in November 2018, earlier than the planned completion date.

The bridge reflects Helsinki's commitment to sustainable transportation by providing dedicated infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists separate from motor vehicles.

The structure incorporates two district heating pipes, one water pipe, and an inspection bridge beneath the main deck for maintenance purposes.

Engineers faced technical challenges during construction due to the shallow water depths and deep silt layers beneath the bridge's foundation.
