some interdisciplinary study and visited Finish construction companies on several occasions, as they

5.3.1 Crusell Bridge case study
The Crusell Bridge is a cable stayed bridge, commissioned by the City of Helsinki's public works
department, connecting the western edge of Jätkasaari with Ruoholahti. Jätkasaari, a part of the former
West Harbour, near the city centre of Helsinki, is being transformed into a new maritime urban district.
Cargo operations have been moved to another part of the city to make room for development of some
9,000 new dwellings, giving rise to the need for a new road bridge. Figure 5.2 shows a rendering of the
cable-stayed bridge in its setting in Helsinki harbour.
