Replot Bridge
Raippaluodon silta / Replotbron
A cable-stayed bridge linking the mainland with Replot Island. At 1,045 metres it is Finland's longest road bridge, and it is the required route to the archipelago.
Replot Bridge opened in 1997, replacing the ferry and linking Replot Island with the mainland. It is 1,045 metres long, and its main pylons rise about 82 metres. For almost three decades after it opened it was Finland's longest bridge. After the Kruunuvuori Bridge in Helsinki opened in 2026, it dropped to second place, but it is still Finland's longest road bridge. Both ends have car parks, and visitors can walk or cycle onto the bridge for views over the sea and islands of the Kvarken Archipelago. There is a café and an information point at the island end. The bridge is about 20 km from Vaasa city centre and is the main route to the core World Heritage area, including Saltkaret Observation Tower. Drivers usually stop here on the way to take photos.
