Risøybroa

Risøybroa is a road bridge in Haugesund Municipality that connects the island of Risøy to the mainland and handles daily traffic. The structure spans across the water with separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrian pathways for crossing between the two areas.

The bridge was built to connect the previously isolated island with the mainland and opened new possibilities for regional traffic. This project was a key step in developing coastal infrastructure for the region.

The bridge links island life to the mainland community and is used daily by locals as a natural part of their routine. It has become woven into how people experience the coastal landscape and their everyday movement through the region.

The bridge is accessible for both vehicles and pedestrians, with clear lanes and pathways marked on both sides. The best way to use this crossing is to follow the marked routes, whether driving or walking on foot.

While crossing, you often see traditional Norwegian fishing and supply vessels passing underneath the bridge. This mix of water and land traffic shows how these two forms of movement exist side by side in the area.
