Stolma Bridge

The Stolma Bridge spans 467 meters across the Stolmasundet strait, connecting the islands of Stolmen and Selbjørn with a main span of 301 meters.

The construction completed in 1998 held the record for the longest cantilever box-girder span until the Shibanpo Second Yangtze River Bridge surpassed it.

The bridge represents a major advancement in Norwegian infrastructure, demonstrating the nation's commitment to connecting coastal communities across challenging maritime terrain.

The structure incorporates 11,500 cubic meters of concrete and 1,850 tonnes of steel, featuring a 9-meter width that accommodates two traffic lanes.

Engineers utilized high-strength low-density concrete with 1,940 kilograms per cubic meter density in the central span to reduce the overall weight.
