Merikoski Bridges, Bridge system in Koskikeskus, Finland

The Merikoski Bridges comprise four distinct structures: Pokkisenväylä, Ämmänväylä, Tuiranväylä, and Alakanava, spanning across the Oulujoki River in Oulu.

The Ämmänväylä Bridge, constructed in 1890, stands as one of the earliest structures in this network of bridges connecting different districts of Oulu.

The bridges form an essential component of the Oulujoki delta area historical ensemble, reflecting the relationship between urban development and natural waterways.

These structures connect the districts of Pokkinen and Tuira, with the southern end at Aleksanterinkatu and the northern terminus at Merikoskenkatu.

The bridges integrate with the Merikoski hydroelectric power plant system, which received a fish passage in 2003 enabling salmon and trout migration.
