Tana Bridge

The Tana Bridge extends 260 meters across the Tana River with its main span reaching 234 meters and features an asymmetric pylon of 95 meters.

The current bridge replaced a 1948 structure that operated until 2020, while an earlier wooden bridge from 1939 required seasonal removal due to ice-melt flooding.

The bridge connects Norwegian and Sámi communities in the Finnmark region, representing a vital link for local residents and their traditional activities.

The structure includes modern LED lighting systems that illuminate the crossing during dark winter months, making it visible for drivers and pedestrians.

Located at the northernmost part of Norway, the bridge stands as the only crossing point over the lower 100 kilometers of the Tana River.
