l33g0's video: Temporary Pedestrian Bridge over Tammerkoski Rapids Tammerkosken tilap inen silta Tampere Finland

Tammerkosken väliaikainen jalankulku- ja pyöräilysilta oli käytössä Hämeensillan remontin aikana. Silta avattiin kesäkuussa 2018 ja purettiin syyskuussa 2021. Neljän metrin levyinen puinen silta kulki Värjörinkujalta Tempon talon takakulmalta Verkarantaan. Väliaikainen silta sai suuren suosion tamperelaisilta. Tampereen kaupunki aikoo rakentaa kosken yli pysyvän sillan (Värjärin silta). Hämeensillan eteläpuolen länsirannalle suunnitellaan myös kävelyreittiä (Takon raitti). Koska kyseessä on kansallismaisema ja Takon kartonkitehtaan läheisyydessä kulkeva reitti, niin toteutukset vaativat hyvän suunnitteluratkaisun. This temporary pedestrian and cycling bridge crossing the Tammerkoski rapids was in use during the renovation of the Hämeensilta bridge in Tampere, South Finland. The bridge was opened in June 2018 and dismantled in September 2021. The four-meter-wide wooden bridge ran from the Värjörinkuja alley, from the back corner of the Tempo house (Tempon talo), to Verkaranta. The temporary bridge was very popular with the people of Tampere. The city of Tampere plans to build a permanent bridge (Värjärin silta) over the Tammerkoski rapids. A new walking route (Takon raitti) is also planned to the west side of Tammerkoski, on the south side of Hämeensilla. Since the banks of Tammerkoski is one of Finland’s national landscapes and a route runs near the Tako cardboard factory, the implementations require a good planning solution. The Hämeensilta (″Häme Bridge″) bridge is crossing the Tammerkoski rapids. The main street of Tampere, Hämeenkatu, runs along the bridge. Hämeensilta is one of the Tampere city's best known landmarks, especially famous for the statues on the rails of the bridge. On the bridge you can find the Finnish sculptor Wäinö Aaltonen’s statues the Finnish Maiden, the Tax Collector, the Tradesman and the Hunter (Suomen neito, Veronkantaja, Kauppias ja Eränkävijä). Hämeensilta is named after the Finnish name of the Tavastia (Häme) province. The arches of the Hämeensilta bridge are made of concrete and they are coated with a red granite. The 68-meter-long (223 ft) Hämeensilta was completed in 1929. The Hömeensilta bridge was renovated and rebuilt 2018-2020. The new bridge imitates the appearance of the original stone bridge. Tammerkoski is a channel of rapids in Tampere, South Finland. The city of Tampere is located between two lakes, Näsijärvi and Pyhäjärvi. The difference in altitude between these two is 18 meters (59 ft) and the water flows from Näsijärvi to Pyhäjärvi through the Tammerkoski rapids. There was a busy marketplace in the 17th century. Tampere was founded on the banks of the rapids, as the rushing water provided a great deal of power for the needs of industry. Tampere became the first industrial city in Finland. The development of large-scale industrial life in Tampere began in the 1850s. Tampere was a leading textile center of Finland and Northern Europe. In addition to the textile industry, the most prominent industrial fields were the metal, iron, and wood processing industries, followed later by the shoe and leather industries. The banks of Tammerkoski are among the oldest industrial areas in Finland. It includes Finlayson's and Tampella's factories, among others. Today, only the Tako cardboard factory (Takon kartonkitehdas, Metsä Board Tako) operates along the rapids, but many of the old factory buildings still remain. Tammerkoski, with the old red-brick industrial buildings around the banks, is one of Finland's national landscapes. Tampere is the second-largest urban area and third largest city in Finland, and the most populous Finnish city outside the Greater Helsinki area. Tampere is the most populous inland city of the Nordic countries. It has a population of 250,000. The Tampere metropolitan area has the population of 400,000. Tampere is one of the major urban, economic, and cultural hubs in the whole inland region.
