Brobacka bridge

The Brobacka bridge is a stone arch crossing that spans the Keravanjoki river between Helsinki and Vantaa. The structure measures roughly 37 meters and displays construction techniques from the 1800s.

The bridge was built in 1890 and has connected the two municipalities ever since. It stands as a record of Finnish engineering from that era.

The bridge name reflects the Swedish heritage of the region, while its structure serves as a central element in the Siltamäki district landscape.

The crossing is reserved for walkers and cyclists, providing access to green spaces and recreational areas on both sides. Local residents use this route regularly for daily journeys and exercise.

The structure goes by several names: Kirkonkylän silta, Keravanjoen silta, and Siltamäen silta, each reflecting different local perspectives. This multiple naming shows how the same place is understood differently depending on viewpoint and background.
