Pärnu kesklinna bridge, Bridge in Pärnu, Estonia.

The Kesklinna Bridge spans across the Pärnu River with a six-meter-wide roadway and two pedestrian walkways measuring 1.7 meters each.

Engineers from Leningrad designed the bridge in 1948, incorporating pillars from the previous Suursild structure, and completed construction on December 31, 1956.

The bridge connects the central districts of Pärnu, creating a physical link between neighborhoods while serving as a meeting point for residents.

The structure carries vehicular traffic from Tallinn highway over the river, making it a central transportation artery for both local commuters and visitors.

The bridge contained a central lifting mechanism that malfunctioned after three attempts, requiring a Russian military tank to force the span into position.
