Heinola railway bridge, Railway museum bridge in Heinola, Finland.

The steel railway bridge extends 337 meters across the Jyrängönvirta River, connecting the shores of Jyränkö and Tommola in northern Heinola.

The bridge opened in 1932 as part of the Lahti-Heinola railway line, with construction beginning in 1930 after numerous planning and location debates.

The structure represents Finnish railway engineering from the 1930s and stands as a preserved museum bridge within the Parc Harjupuisto recreational area.

The bridge incorporates a designated pedestrian walkway, allowing visitors to cross the river while observing trains that continue to transport cargo.

The bridge received new wooden planks for its pedestrian section in 2017, maintaining its dual function as both an active railway and public crossing point.
