Satakunnansilta (the ″Satakunta Bridge″) is an old bridge in Tampere, Finland, that crosses the Tammerkoski rapids north of Hämeensilta.[1] The bridge is part of the Satakunnankatu street and is used by both vehicle traffic and pedestrians.
The Satakunta Bridge was designed by engineer Karl Snellman,[2] son of Senator J. V. Snellman. It was built between 1897 and 1900 and commissioned on October 9, 1900.[3] [1] The bridge is a 6-span stone arch bridge with spans of 17 meters. The width of the bridge is 11.75 meters and its total length is 112.6 meters.[4]
In 2013, the bridge railings were refurbished to the original model,[5] [1] and in 2014, the bridge lamps were replaced with the original model.[6] [1]
