Lauttasaari Bridge, Road bridge in Ruoholahti district, Finland.

The Lauttasaari Bridge extends 317 meters across the Lauttasaarensalmi strait, linking the districts of Ruoholahti and Lauttasaari in Helsinki.

Constructed in 1969, this concrete structure replaced the original 1935 bridge, which served as the first fixed connection to the mainland from Lauttasaari island.

The bridge name derives from Lauttasaari, meaning 'ferry island' in Finnish, referencing the water transport service that operated there from 1914.

The bridge accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians, providing a direct route between mainland Helsinki and the residential district of Lauttasaari.

Fishermen gather on the bridge to catch Baltic herring, while beneath it runs an underground tunnel transporting coal to the Salmisaari power plant.
