Fyksesund Bridge

The Fyksesund Bridge extends 345.9 meters across the Fyksesund fjord, with a main span of 230 meters and a height of 28 meters above water.

Crown Prince Olav inaugurated the bridge on October 9, 1937, requiring structural modifications in 1945 to address aerodynamic concerns identified after its opening.

The bridge connects the villages of Øystese and Ålvik, fostering community relationships and enabling regular interactions between local populations across the fjord.

The structure accommodates both vehicles and bicycles on Norwegian County Road 7, serving approximately 1,100 daily users with designated lanes for each mode of transport.

Engineer Olaf Stang designed this single-lane suspension bridge, incorporating steel construction methods that represented advanced engineering practices of the 1930s.
