The Vantaankoski Bridge (Finnish: Vantaankosken silta) is a bridge crossing the Vantaankoski rapids between the Viinikkala and Vantaanlaakso districts of the city of Vantaa.[1] Completed in 1876, the wooden bridge is the only one still standing in Vantaa, and it was once part of the "Turku–Viipurin Suurta Rantatie" (the King's Road).[2]
Next to the bridge, on the banks of the Vantaankoski rapids, is an old white file factory, the Dahlfors brick factory building, completed in 1903, which operated until the 1960s.[3] In the early 2000s, the building, renovated by the City of Vantaa, was converted into a restaurant for on-demand use.[3]
