Aurajoki railway bridge

The Aurajoki railway bridge stretches 48 meters across the Aura River, featuring a concrete arch design that supports the Turku-Toijala railway line.

Built in 1924, the Aurajoki railway bridge served as a crucial transportation link during Finland's railway network expansion in the early twentieth century.

The Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency maintains this designated museum bridge, preserving its structural elements as an example of early concrete engineering methods.

The bridge remains operational for rail traffic, with designated viewing areas allowing visitors to observe passing trains and photograph the concrete architecture.

This structure combines the precision of concrete arch engineering with museum status, making it both a functional railway crossing and historical monument.
