Built in 1837, this wooden bridge is described by its website as Finland's oldest wooden trussed-arch bridge still in use. The national road museum site has four spans on wedged stone foundations. It measures 77.5 metres long and 5.8 metres wide; a 1987 survey found original timber still in its load-bearing structure.
The regional ELY Centre began full restoration in 2018, following historical structural models and methods under Finnish Heritage Agency guidance. It is listed as a viewpoint and a stop on walking and hiking routes. The wooden deck can be slippery when wet.
