Helsinki City Council has approved construction of the Crown Bridges – Kruunusillat – Project, that at 3km will be the longest bridge in Finland.
The bridge will carry pedestrians, cyclists and trams between the city centre and the 143 hectare Kruunuvuorenranta development to the east which will have over 580,000m² of residential space and 6,000 housing units.
The centrepiece of the €259 million scheme, as designed by WSP Finland and Knight Architects, will be the 1.2km span crossing of the main bay,
