Tervasalmensilta, Kuhmo
Tervasalmen tie rakennettiin jo 1850-luvulla ja Ontojärven ylitys tapahtui lossin avulla aina 1930-luvulle saakka. Tie ja vesirakennus hallitus rakennutti paikalle kolminivelisen teräsbetonisen holvisillan vuonna 1935. Sillan oli suunnitellut insinööri Ossian Heinistö. Siltatyömaan vastaava rakennusmesteri oli Yrjö Tirkkonen.
Tervasalmen silta edustaa 1930-luvun siltarakennustekniikka ja on yksi harvoista Kainuun sen aika kauden betonisilloista. Sillan pituus on 33m, vapaa-aukko 20m ja hyödyllien leveys 5.3m. Siltapenkereessä kasvaa uhanalainen kasvilaji, idänluhtatähtimö (Stella fennica). Tiemuseokohteeksi silta hyväksyttiin 1982.
