Skjeggestad Bridge, Twin bridges in Holmestrand Municipality, Norway

The Skjeggestad Bridge consists of two parallel structures spanning 229 meters across the Mofjellbekken river along European route E18 in Vestfold county.

In 2015, the southbound section experienced a partial collapse due to a quick clay landslide, leading to complete demolition and reconstruction of that segment.

The bridge exemplifies Norwegian engineering approaches to transportation infrastructure in regions with sensitive clay soil compositions common throughout southeastern Norway.

The bridge serves as a primary connection point for vehicular traffic between Oslo and the southeastern coastal regions of Norway.

Scientific studies of the 2015 landslide at Skjeggestad Bridge have contributed to understanding quick clay behavior and infrastructure safety in Nordic regions.
