Tresfjord Bridge, Cantilever road bridge in Vestnes Municipality, Norway.
The Tresfjord Bridge is a concrete cantilever bridge that spans across the Tresfjorden, linking the western and eastern shores of the fjord. The structure carries the main European route over the water and allows ships to pass underneath with sufficient clearance.
Construction of the bridge ran from 2012 to 2015 and improved connections across the Møre og Romsdal region. The project addressed isolation issues that had long made travel between the shore communities difficult.
The bridge represents a major infrastructure development in Møre og Romsdal county, connecting communities and supporting regional transportation needs.
The bridge forms part of a crucial north-south traffic route and remains open year-round for transit traffic. Visitors use this crossing to access the southern fjords or reach communities further north along the coast.
The bridge employs a special cantilever design where large concrete arms extend the span without support pillars in the middle of the fjord. This construction method was chosen to avoid blocking ship traffic while managing the challenging currents and deep water conditions.
