Old Hakaniemi Bridge 1961–2024 (Hakaniemensilta) || Here in Helsinki

Join us on a nostalgic visit and ride across the now-demolished Hakaniemi Bridge in Helsinki. The bridge was built without proper waterproofing, which led to critical deterioration of the bridge's deck structure.

Originally opened in 1961, this bridge was replaced by a new structure in May 2024. The New Hakaniemi Bridge was built to make way for the Crown Bridges Light Rail, which enables massive redevelopment of the Siltavuorensalmi strait waterfront. The new bridge provides improved safety and accessibility for all road users.
