Runde Bridge, bridge
Runde Bridge is a road bridge in Herøy, Norway, that spans across water. The approximately 428-meter-long structure made of prestressed concrete connects islands and coastal areas using a cantilever design that requires fewer supports in the water.
The bridge opened in early 1982, connecting islands to the mainland and eliminating the need for boat travel between them. This infrastructure supported the growth of fishing and tourism industries in the region.
The bridge carries Fylkesvei 5876 and handles daily traffic from various vehicles. Its solid prestressed concrete construction provides reliable passage for exploring the islands and nearby coastal areas.
Nearby Runde Island is known for its seabird colonies and rugged coastal landscape. Many visitors use the bridge to reach this nature-rich area that attracts photographers and wildlife observers.
