I went flying over the bridge around 18.4.2018 in the evening. Originally, plans were to fly at the bridges of Suutarinkorva over Kemi river, but they are too close to Rovaniemi airport and I would have needed permission to air traffic control, so I will go there with better preparation with permission. Ounaskoski Railway Bridge is one of Rovaniemi's sights. The railroad to Kemijärvi was opened in July 1934, but the Germans blasted the bridge during the war in Lapland on October 10, 1944 at 20.00. The double deck, road and rail bridge was opened in 1951. The bridge has good views of Ounasjoki, the town and the direction of the Jätkänkynttilä (other nice bridge).
