Nessundet bru

Nessundet Bridge is a steel truss structure spanning approximately 290 meters across the water, connecting the mainland near Nes Church to Sund on Helgøya island. The bridge features a distinctive lattice framework design typical of truss construction.

Construction of the bridge and embankments began in 1952 and was completed with an official opening in 1957. This event established a new transportation route for the region.

The bridge links communities on either side and has become part of daily routines for people traveling between the mainland and Helgøya island. It shapes how residents move through their region and supports the local pattern of life.

The bridge allows only vehicles within specific weight limits and has a reduced speed restriction in place to protect the structure. It is regularly monitored and inspected to ensure safe passage.

The bridge has a main span of 100 meters, which is a notable engineering feature of its design. Modern monitoring systems track its structural condition as it approaches the end of its service life.
