Stavanger City Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Stavanger, Norway.
Stavanger City Bridge is a cable-stayed concrete structure stretching over 1000 meters with a single tower and 24 spans. It crosses the Straumsteinsundet strait, allowing vehicle traffic to flow between different parts of the city.
The bridge opened in 1978 as a pioneering achievement in Norway's bridge engineering. It fundamentally changed how the mainland and island areas were connected.
The bridge links the city center with island communities and shapes how local people move through their daily routines. It connects neighborhoods that were once more isolated from each other.
The bridge sits about 26 meters above sea level with a long center span that allows large ships to pass underneath. You can cross it by car or on foot, and the journey offers views across the waterway below.
The longest single span measures over 300 meters, making it an exceptional example of engineering design for its era. This massive central section allows large vessels to pass freely without intermediate supports blocking the waterway.
