Kåkern Bridge

The Kåkern Bridge extends 303 meters across the Kåkernsundet strait, with its longest span measuring 171.5 meters and constructed of prestressed concrete.

Prior to the construction of the current bridge in 2002, an older suspension bridge served this location from 1961, measuring 228 meters in length.

The bridge forms an essential connection in the Lofoten archipelago, linking the islands of Flakstadøya and Moskenesøya for local residents and visitors.

The structure carries the European route E10 highway with a width of 10 meters, providing a direct path between the islands in the Norwegian arctic region.

The bridge construction took place just south of the original site, maintaining continuous access during the transition between the old and new structures.
