Alversund Bridge

The steel bridge spans 198 meters across the Alverstraumen strait, connecting the island of Radøy to the mainland of western Norway.

The bridge opening in June 1958 marked the first regional collaboration for toll infrastructure between municipalities in the Nordhordland region.

The bridge established permanent connections between communities, replacing traditional water transportation methods that had been used for generations.

The structure maintains a clearance of 27 meters above sea level, allowing maritime traffic to pass underneath while carrying road traffic on route Fv565.

After the bridge costs were paid off in 1968, toll collection continued to fund the construction of the future Nordhordland Bridge.
