Erkkilän silta

About

Erkkilän silta (the ″Erkkilä Bridge″) is a bridge located in the center of Tampere, Finland. It crosses the railway yard to the north of the Tampere Central Station, connecting the Jussinkylä and Tammela districts. The current bridge was completed in the spring of 2026. It is an 86-metre long and 14-metre wide post-tensioned continuous concrete slab bridge. The structure was replaced as part of the Tampere Passenger Rail Yard Project because the vertical clearance of the previous bridge was insufficient for modern railway standards. As part of the project, the connecting street, Erkkilänkatu, was renovated to include dedicated cycle lanes.
