katkoksilta

Katkoksilta is a Finnish toponym that can refer to a bridge crossing or toponymic element found in several localities. The word combines katko, meaning interruption or break, with silta, meaning bridge, and its use often signals a crossing over a stream or ditch where a route is bridged or relieved by infrastructure. In practice, Katkoksilta is not a single, widely documented landmark but rather appears in local road inventories and maps as the name of small bridges or of the surrounding area in different municipalities.

Geography and usage: The name is typically encountered in rural parts of Finland and may designate different structures in different places. Each instance should be considered separately, with exact coordinates and administrative jurisdiction provided by local authorities or national geospatial databases.

History: There are no widely recorded historic events tied specifically to Katkoksilta at the national level. The term’s significance rests in everyday infrastructure naming, reflecting common crossing points in the landscape.

Notable features: Typical Katkoksilta crossings are modest bridges spanning small waterways, often made of wood or metal, and usually accompanied by a rural road or path. The context and construction details can vary from one site to another.
