Stavanger City Bridge

The Stavanger City Bridge stretches 1,067 meters across the Straumsteinsundet strait, featuring a single tower and 24 spans made of reinforced concrete.

Opening on January 31, 1978, this structure marked a milestone as one of the first major cable-stayed bridges constructed in Norway.

The bridge connects the main Stavanger city center to the island communities of Grasholmen and Sølyst, shaping the daily lives of local residents.

Standing 26 meters above sea level, the bridge provides essential passage for vehicles while maintaining clearance for maritime traffic in the strait below.

The bridge's cantilever spar design combines with its 305-meter longest span to create an engineering structure that defines the Stavanger skyline.
