Lysefjord Bridge

The Lysefjord Bridge stretches 640 meters across the fjord, with steel cables supporting its 446-meter main span and concrete towers reaching 102 meters high.

The construction project commenced in 1995 with an investment of 150 million Norwegian krone, leading to the bridge opening ceremony in December 1997.

The bridge connects local communities to natural landmarks, enabling residents and visitors to access hiking trails and observation points around the Lysefjord region.

The 12.3-meter-wide structure accommodates both motorized vehicles and bicycles, maintaining a clearance of 50 meters above water for maritime traffic beneath.

In 1999, this steel and concrete structure received the Beautiful Roads Award for its engineering design and integration with the Norwegian landscape.
