Ounaskoski bridge, Combined railway and road bridge in Rovaniemi, Finland.

The Ounaskoski Bridge spans 400 meters across the Kemijoki River with five stream pillars supporting both railway and vehicle traffic levels.

The original bridge from 1934 was destroyed during the Lapland War in 1944, leading to its reconstruction in 1951 as a vital transportation link.

The bridge represents northern Finland's infrastructure development, connecting communities across the Kemijoki River in the Arctic Circle region.

The bridge accommodates 10,000 vehicles daily on its lower deck, while trains operate on the upper level, with dedicated lanes for pedestrians and cyclists.

A complete renovation in recent years added new railings, lighting systems, and expanded cycling paths while maintaining the dual-level transportation design.
