Fossum Bridge, Combined bicycle and road bridge in Indre Østfold, Norway.
The Fossum Bridge spans across the river Glomma, featuring a suspension design with a main span extending 125 meters over the water.
During World War II in April 1940, the original wooden bridge became a battleground where 120 Norwegian soldiers confronted German forces.
A monument stands on the Askim side of the river to commemorate the twenty Norwegian soldiers who lost their lives defending the bridge.
Visitors can access parking facilities near the boat on the Askim side, with cycling and hiking trails beginning from both Askim and Spydeberg.
The bridge defense gallery contains a 32-meter corridor with facilities for 50 troops, including machine gun positions and a searchlight installation.
