Andøy Bridge

The Andøy Bridge extends 750 meters across the Risøysundet strait, connecting the islands of Andøya and Hinnøya with 21 spans and a main span of 110 meters.

Constructed in 1974, the Andøy Bridge was one of four bridges built during the 1970s to establish connections between the Vesterålen islands in northern Norway.

The bridge system represents Norwegian engineering capabilities in remote locations, demonstrating the integration of infrastructure within the northern coastal landscape.

The structure carries route Fv82 across the strait with a clearance of 30 meters above sea level, enabling maritime traffic to pass underneath while connecting local communities.

The bridge incorporates prestressed concrete construction techniques, making it resilient against the harsh weather conditions of the Norwegian Arctic region.
