Pärnu’s New Bridge

The new bridge in the centre of Pärnu, Estonia over the river Pärnu started its move on Monday 19 August.

On Monday it moved almost 120m over land towards the river, and then approximately 100m out over the river.

Today, Friday 23 August, Inf Infra have announced that the bridge has reached its final position.

  • Length 140m
  • weight  950t

The new bridge will be Estonia’s longest. Once completed, the bridge will link the South bank of the Pärnu River to the rest of the city, connecting Laia tänav with Raba tänav.

It is planned to be opened at the beginning of summer, on June 21, 2025.
