Salhusfjorden, Fjord between Bergen Municipality and Alver Municipality, Norway.
Salhusfjorden extends for 4 kilometers between Salhus and Frekhaug villages, reaching depths of 500 meters in its clear waters.
Before the Nordhordland Bridge construction in 1994, two ferry services operated across Salhusfjorden, with the Knarvik route becoming Norway's busiest ferry crossing.
The fjord marks the boundary between Midhordland and Nordhordland districts, reflecting the maritime heritage of these distinct Norwegian regions.
The Nordhordland Bridge, carrying European Route E39, spans 1,614 meters across Salhusfjorden, connecting Bergen Municipality with Alver Municipality.
The fjord's name originates from Salhus village, which contained a Viking Age inn called sáluhus and later became an industrial center with hosiery manufacturing.
