Lepsøy Bridge

The Lepsøy Bridge extends 800 meters across Lepsøyrevet, featuring a main span of 155 meters constructed with concrete and steel materials.

The bridge development started in 2019 as part of the Nordøyvegen project, reaching completion with its official opening on December 18, 2021.

This bridge strengthens connections between mainland Norway and the island communities, supporting local maritime traditions and daily life patterns.

The structure maintains a 41-meter clearance underneath, allowing vessels to pass while carrying an average of 1,028 vehicles daily on its two lanes.

The bridge stands near the former location of Norway's first lighthouse ship, which operated at Lepsøyrevet from 1857 until the construction of a permanent lighthouse.
