Turusild, Pedestrian bridge in Tartu, Estonia.

The Turusild spans 251.5 meters across the Emajõgi River, featuring a suspended design supported by seven pairs of cables at 7.5 meters above water.

The construction of Turusild was completed in 2003, connecting the outdoor market area with the Annelinna district of Tartu through modern engineering.

The bridge received recognition from Tartu citizens who named it the 'Act of the Year' in 2003, marking its importance for the community.

Designated sections of the bridge accommodate both pedestrian traffic and cyclists, providing a direct route between different parts of Tartu.

At its peak, the bridge displays a 3.5-meter weather vane called Lennuk, crafted by blacksmith Ivar Feldmann.
