Skodje Bridges

The stone and brick bridges span across Skodjestrømmen and Eggestrømmen waters, with the longest section measuring 57 meters in length.

Construction of the bridges started in 1911, and the structures opened in 1919, costing 480,000 Norwegian kroner at completion.

The bridges represent early 20th-century Norwegian engineering, with the main structure being the largest stone bridge in Northern Europe when constructed.

The newer Straum Bridge, opened in 2004, now handles vehicle traffic while the original structures remain accessible for pedestrians.

The old Skodje Bridge holds the record as the longest masonry arch road bridge in Norway, stretching approximately 100 meters.
