The claim "world's longest car-free bridge" is bullshit. If going by total bridge length there are many bridges around the world longer than 1191m that do not carry cars. By main span length, the Hangzhou Bay Railway Bridge in China has a 450m one, considerably longer than Kruunuvuori's ~250m.

How is this the world's longest car free bridge?

There are rail-only bridges crossing wider rivers than this, I think even in the US (rail bridges on the Mississippi?). Then there are tunnels...

I think they mean car-free bridges that are like regular street bridges with pedestrian, bicycle and tram traffic. Not railway-only bridges, without pedestrian and cyclist traffic

To be precise: there are, of course, longer rail-only bridges. The Kruunuvuori Bridge is the longest pedestrian-bicycle-transit-only (no cars allowed) bridge in the world.

The Forth Road Bridge to the west of Edinburgh (Scotland) has, since the opening of the adjacent Queensferry Crossing in August 2017, been limited to buses, bikes, and pedestrians only. Including the approach viaducts it is 2.5km long.

In other news, the United States continues to build energy-sucking data centers and concentration camps for brown people.

is that wd40?

Probably snake oil. People are not happy. New multi-million bridge and they constructed the expansion joints to form ditches Already one person hospitalised. Such couldn’t have passed on a car bridge, but here, a ditch it is. Who cares about the actual users. Stomach landing, as we’d put it.
