The actual competition starts on September 19, and the selected participants will be notified prior to that date.
The City of Helsinki will hold an international design competition for Kruunusillat. The aim is to attract the world’s best bridge experts here to design the new tram, cycle and pedestrian connection between centrally located Kalasatama and Laajasalo’s Kruunuvuorenranta.
The bridge connection would be made up of at least two bridges, the longest of which could be, at nearly 1.2 kilometres, the longest in Finland. The main focus of the task lies in designing the longest stretch of the bridge across the Kruunuvuorenselkä sea area between Palosaari and Kruunuvuorenranta.
The bridge design contest is on schedule. The objective is that the one-step, or if necessary, two-step contest will be completed by end of 2012.
