Kirjalansalmi Bridge, Suspension road bridge in Kaarina, Finland

The Kirjalansalmi Bridge stretches 287 meters across the strait between Kaarina and Pargas municipalities, with a central span of 220 meters and 14-meter width.

The construction of this transportation link in 1963 established a permanent connection between the municipalities of Kaarina and Pargas, replacing previous water-based crossing methods.

The bridge represents Finnish engineering capabilities of the 1960s, demonstrating the nation's commitment to developing infrastructure in challenging geographical conditions.

Regional Road 180 crosses this two-lane bridge, which includes dedicated walking paths for pedestrians traveling between Kaarina and Pargas municipalities.

The steel wire cables of this bridge support a roadway that rises high enough above the water to allow maritime traffic to pass underneath.
