Bømla Bridge, Suspension bridge in Hordaland, Norway.

The Bømla Bridge spans 998 meters across Spissøysundet, connecting Nautøy in Stord Municipality with Spissøy in Bømlo Municipality through County Road 542.

Construction of the bridge began on March 25, 1999, and required 550,000 work hours to complete, with a final cost of 342 million Norwegian krone.

The bridge replaced traditional ferry connections between islands, transforming the way local communities interact and travel between Stord and Bømlo municipalities.

The structure includes two traffic lanes and a separate pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, with a clearance of 36 meters beneath for maritime traffic.

The bridge construction introduced the first instance of on-site cable spinning in Norway, utilizing 4,000 steel wires twisted together to form 30-centimeter thick cables.
