Hakkila stone bridge, Stone arch footbridge in Vantaa, Finland.
Description
Hakkila stone bridge is a granite arch structure spanning the Keravanjoki river with a single opening, built from cut granite blocks and natural stone boulders. The footbridge connects both riverbanks and allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross the water.
History
The bridge was built in 1898 as part of the King's Road, an important route connecting several Finnish municipalities. It was constructed during a period when stone river structures were regularly built in the region.
Culture
The structure represents traditional Finnish engineering methods from the late 19th century, built upon a foundation of wooden logs beneath the water.
Practical
The bridge is clearly marked for pedestrians and cyclists, with walking paths leading from nearby parking areas. Open views along the riverbank make orientation straightforward throughout the route.
Did you know?
The bridge rests on a foundation of wooden logs submerged beneath the water, a construction technique rarely preserved today. This hidden engineering beneath the surface reveals late 19th-century methods that remain invisible to visitors.
