Tromøy Bridge

The Tromøy Bridge extends 400 meters across the Tromøysundet strait, connecting the island of Tromøya to mainland Norway through concrete and steel construction.

The bridge project, initiated by a committee led by Christian Stray in 1938, reached completion in 1961 with an opening ceremony by Transport Minister Trygve Bratteli.

The bridge transformed the connection between Tromøy Island and Arendal, creating new opportunities for community interaction and local development in the region.

The structure accommodates an average of 8,350 vehicles daily while maintaining a clearance of 37 meters above water for maritime vessels passing underneath.

The bridge contains twelve distinct spans along its length, with the main span measuring 240 meters, making it a notable engineering achievement in Norwegian infrastructure.
