Beisfjord Bridge

The Beisfjord Bridge extends across 376.2 meters over the Beisfjorden, connecting the residential area of Ankenesstranda to central Narvik through European route E6.

The construction and inauguration of the bridge in 1957 marked a significant advancement in regional infrastructure, reducing travel times between previously separated communities.

The bridge represents Norwegian engineering capabilities of the 1950s, demonstrating the nation's commitment to developing transportation networks in challenging Arctic conditions.

The structure's 40.6-meter longest span and bascule mechanism allow vessels to pass underneath while maintaining continuous road traffic flow across the fjord.

Local residents often refer to the structure as Ankenesbrua, reflecting its role in connecting the Ankenes district with the main urban center.
