Martinsilta (St. Martin's Bridge) is a beam bridge spanning the Aurajoki river in Turku, Finland. It was built in 1940, although a proposed bridge appeared on its present location already in the city plan that Carl Ludvig Engel created after the Great Fire of Turku of 1827. The bridge is 104.5 metres (343 ft) in length.
The bridge is a one-way bridge crossing from Linnankatu to Itäinen Rantakatu in a south-southeast direction. However, with the recent sagging of the Myllysilta bridge, two-way traffic has been implemented for an indefinite period of time with one of the three lanes going in the opposite direction.
