Løkke bro

The cast iron bridge spans 22.8 meters across the Sandvikselva river, connecting Løkkehaven with the Hamang industrial park area.

Constructed at Bærums Verk foundry in 1829, this structure marked a milestone as Norway's first cast iron bridge, replacing a wooden bridge destroyed by flooding.

The bridge structure attracted numerous painters throughout history, including Claude Monet who created a painting of it in 1895, now displayed at the National Gallery.

Following its relocation 75 meters upstream in 1977, the bridge now serves as a pedestrian crossing between Løkkehaven and Sandvika High School.

The bridge's construction cost amounted to 4,700 speciedalers plus 1,400 speciedalers for installation, as proposed by Count Herman Wedel Jarlsberg.
