Kroppanbrua, Twin bridges in Trondheim, Norway.
Kroppanbrua is a twin bridge system that crosses the Nidelva River and connects Trondheim's eastern and western sides. The structure uses multiple lanes in each direction to handle daily traffic flow across the river.
The bridge opened in 1975 as a modern solution to handle growing traffic in the city. Over the following years, additional lanes and a second structure were added to meet rising demands.
The bridges shape how locals and visitors move between different parts of the city, serving as a practical link that people cross every day without necessarily noticing the structure itself. This crossing is simply part of how the city works.
The bridge accommodates both vehicles and pedestrians, with designated paths for people on foot and bicycles to cross safely between the riverbanks. Finding your way across is straightforward since routes are clearly separated.
One feature that stands out is the middle lane that reverses direction depending on traffic volume during different times of the day. This flexible design helps manage rush hour flow more efficiently.
