Rokkiporkkana

About

Rokkiporkkana (Finnish for "Rock and Roll Carrot") is a bridge in Jätkäsaari, Helsinki, Finland. The bridge is 44 metres long, made of steel and orange in colour. It is meant for bicycle and foot transport. It crosses the Välimerenkatu street and connects the parks Hyväntoivonpuisto and Selkämerenpuisto, enabling pedestrian transport between the residential blocks in Jätkäsaari and the Ruoholahti metro station. The Rööriporkkana over the street Länsisatamankatu was opened for use on 31 October 2023. It is similar to Rokkiporkkana but a little shorter and narrower.
