Replot ( Finnish Raippaluoto ) is an island in the Kvarken of the Gulf of Bothnia off the city of Vaasa in Finland . The population is about 2100. Replot is almost entirely Swedish-speaking.
Formerly an independent archipelago municipality, Replot has belonged to the Korsholm municipality (Finnish: Mustasaari ) since 1973 . The main island Replot includes the main town of the same name and the suburbs Brändövik, Norra Vallgrund, Södra Vallgrund, Panike and Söderudden.
Replot used to have a ferry connection with the mainland. A bridge, the Replotbron (Finnish: Raippaluodon silta ) was built in 1997. With a length of 1045 m it is the longest suspension bridge in Finland. Replot is also connected to the formerly independent neighboring island, at the same time Björkö, which is connected to Korsholm, via a dam road.
