Louhunsalmi Suspension Bridge, Suspension bridge in Jyväskylä, Finland.

The Louhunsalmi Suspension Bridge extends 178 meters across Lake Paijanne, connecting the areas of Lehtisaari and Säynätsalo with two traffic lanes and a pedestrian walkway.

Architect Bruno Kivisalo designed this infrastructure project which opened on July 30, 1957, marking a significant development in regional transportation connections.

The bridge stands as an example of Finnish engineering achievements from the 1950s, representing the period's approach to combining functionality with structural design.

Located at coordinates 62.1349°N and 25.7615°E, the bridge provides essential daily access for vehicles and pedestrians between the connected areas of Jyväskylä.

In November 2024, the bridge underwent emergency repairs when strong winds caused a suspender cable to break, temporarily limiting access to pedestrians and cyclists.
