Kruunuvuorenselkä (Swedish: Kronobergsfjärden) is a body of water in Helsinki, Finland, located between the city centre and the eastern suburbs.
It is approximately long (north-south) and wide (east-west), and bounded by the islands of Suomenlinna and Vallisaari to the south; the districts of Santahamina and Laajasalo to the east; the island of Kulosaari to the north; and the city centre area of Helsinki to the west.
Kruunuvuorenselkä carries much of the waterborne traffic into and out of Helsinki's South, Hanasaari and Sörnäinen Harbours, shuttle ferry and sightseeing traffic between the city centre and nearby islands, as well as extensive leisure boating based at marinas in Pohjoisranta, Herttoniemenranta, and elsewhere. The fairways leading to each of the main harbours around Kruunuvuorenselkä are a minimum of deep.[1] Access from Kruunuvuorenselkä to the wider Gulf of Finland is mostly through the narrow Kustaanmiekka strait between Suomenlinna and Vallisaari.
A bridge, Kruunuvuorensilta, is being built across Kruunuvuorenselkä as part of the Crown Bridges initiatives, connecting central Helsinki with the eastern suburbs at Laajasalo and beyond. The bridge will carry pedestrian and bicycle traffic and a tram route, but no car traffic. Construction began in late 2021, and the bridge is expected to open to traffic by 2027.[2]
