Hagelsund Bridge

The Hagelsund Bridge extends 623 meters across the Hagelsundet strait, connecting the island of Flatøy with the village of Knarvik on the mainland.

The construction of Hagelsund Bridge started in 1979, leading to its official opening in 1982 as part of a regional infrastructure development program.

The Hagelsund Bridge forms part of a triangular bridge network with the Nordhordland and Krossnessund bridges, reflecting the Norwegian engineering approach to fjord crossings.

The bridge maintains a clearance of 50 meters above water level, allowing maritime traffic to pass beneath while providing two lanes for vehicles and a separate path for cyclists.

Situated at coordinates 60°32′36″N 5°16′18″E, the Hagelsund Bridge serves as one of nine spans across the Hagelsundet strait in western Norway.
