Ypsilon, Cable-stayed footbridge in Drammen Municipality, Norway.

The Ypsilon Bridge spans 135 meters across the Drammenselva river with a central mast rising 47 meters above the water level.

The construction of the bridge, completed in 2008, marked the establishment of a new connection between Kunnskapsparken and the Bragernes district.

The bridge serves as a link between the University of South-Eastern Norway campus and the public library, creating an educational corridor in Drammen.

The structure provides dedicated paths for pedestrians and cyclists, connecting both sides of the river with three separate spans meeting at a central point.

The bridge earned the 2008 European Steel Bridges Award for its engineering design that forms a Y-shape when viewed from above.
