Kanalbrua, Road and bascule bridge in Moss Municipality, Norway

The Kanalbrua bridge measures 52 meters in length and features four driving lanes with a total width of 23 meters, including two 3-meter sidewalks.

The initial iron drawbridge from 1855 was replaced by a manual swing bridge in 1888 before the current structure was erected in 1957.

The bridge represents a central element in the daily life of Moss residents, connecting the mainland with the island of Jeløya.

Since 2022, certain lanes have been restricted due to structural wear, leading to the implementation of free bus services to reduce traffic congestion.

The bridge's lifting mechanisms were permanently welded shut in 1975, limiting passage to smaller vessels beneath its fixed structure.
