The World's Longest Bridge has Opened in Helsinki
One of the world's longest bridges has been brought to life. A colossal bridge, spanning approximately 1,200 meters, has been constructed over the sea in Finland. This bridge, which connects Korkeasaari and Kruunuvuorenranta, came with a price tag of hundreds of millions of euros. However, there's a peculiar feature about this bridge - it doesn't permit the passage of cars.
It's one of the longest bridges in the world. However, it's not accessible for cars.
The Kruunuvuorensilta Bridge, towering in Helsinki, the capital of Finland, is one of the longest bridges in the world with its approximate length of 1,200 meters. However, this colossal structure was designed exclusively for pedestrians, cyclists, and public transportation.
With the new bridge, Kruunuvuorenranta, which was previously 11 kilometers away, is now just five and a half kilometers from the city center. Since private vehicles are not allowed either, the bridge, which has become the new symbol of the city, is being used by the public as a sort of 'viewing terrace'.
Helsinki Mayor Daniel Sazonov says, 'The Kruunuvuorensilta Bridge is a new, unique, and exciting landmark for Helsinki.' 'It's a sight that will attract visitors from near and far. The new bridge is changing our perspective of Helsinki. It connects the Kruunuvuorenranta and Laajasalo areas to the broader city center in a completely different way.'
The bridge was realized in line with Mayor Sazonov's vision of a 'carbon-free and quiet city'.
The total cost has reached 326 million euros.
The project undertaken for the 'Silent Bridge' was not just about constructing a bridge. It also involved the implementation of a new tram line, new transport links, and infrastructure works in the region. Consequently, the cost of the project reached 326 million euros.
The Kruunuvuorensilta Bridge, which stands out with its 135-meter-tall supporting legs rising over the sea, was designed to withstand the harsh weather and sea conditions of the Baltic Sea. This design not only reduces travel time for the public but also allows them to safely enjoy the sea views. In short, Helsinki's 'silent' and 'environmentally friendly' city approach aims to reshape not only transportation but also the living experience.
Helsinki is drawing attention not only with its new bridge but also with its gradually changing cityscape. The city, where hints of Art Deco can be seen, is expected to host an increasing number of tourists over the years.
