Kaarsild, Pedestrian bridge in Tartu, Estonia
The Kaarsild crosses the Emajõgi River with a single arch design, connecting the central district to the Ülejõe neighborhood through a dedicated walkway.
Built between 1957 and 1959, this bridge replaced the former Stone Bridge that stood at the same location until its destruction during World War II.
The bridge features synchronized light and sound performances that coordinate with the town hall bell chimes, creating regular evening displays throughout the year.
The bridge provides year-round access for pedestrians and cyclists, serving as a primary connection point between different sections of Tartu without vehicle interference.
A scale model of the original Stone Bridge stands next to the current structure, allowing visitors to compare the architectural changes over different periods.
