Randklev Railway Bridge, Railway bridge in Ringebu, Norway
Randklev Railway Bridge is a steel structure with three equal truss spans crossing the Gudbrandsdalslågen river. The bridge rests on concrete foundations and measures 172 meters long.
The bridge opened on June 14, 1957, and has served as a vital link on the Dovrebanen railway for over six decades. It was named after the nearby river and forms part of the major Oslo-Trondheim rail corridor.
This bridge links two sections of Norway's main north-south railway, making it easy for people to travel between communities. It is a daily part of life for commuters and travelers passing through the valley.
The bridge is accessible by train from nearby Ringebu and Fåvang stations, so check schedules before traveling. The structure itself is not open to pedestrians, but there are good views from the riverbank nearby.
Engineers use sonar technology to check the riverbed and create models of water movement around the bridge supports. These modern methods help keep the structure safe through the decades.
