Skodje Bridges, Bridge group in Ålesund Municipality, Norway
Skodje Bridges is a bridge group crossing the waterways Skodjestrømmen and Eggestrømmen with structures built from stone and brick. The construction features multiple arches arranged side by side, each one spanning across the flowing water below.
Construction of this bridge group began in 1911, with completion arriving in 1919, marking an early period of modern Norwegian infrastructure development. The original stone arch structure was the largest of its kind in Northern Europe when finished.
The bridge group displays early Norwegian engineering craftsmanship through its stone arch design that has endured for generations. You can see how local builders worked with the natural waterways and shaped the landscape character of the region.
The older pedestrian bridges remain accessible on foot and provide access to the water sides, while a newer road bridge has handled vehicle traffic since 2004. The area is weather-dependent and can become slippery in rain, so solid footwear is recommended.
The original Skodje Bridge is often overlooked, yet it holds a record-breaking length as a masonry arch structure in Norway. This detail makes it a surprising example of Nordic engineering achievement from that era.
