Grenland Bridge

The Grenland Bridge extends across the Frierfjord with a total length of 608 meters and reaches a height of 168 meters above the water.

The bridge opened in July 1996 on route E18, replacing the previous Brevik Bridge as the main crossing point between Porsgrunn and Bamble municipalities.

The structure stands as a designated Norwegian heritage site, representing the engineering capabilities and infrastructure development of the Telemark region.

Twenty-one pairs of cables support the bridge deck, maintaining a clearance of 50 meters for maritime vessels passing through the Frierfjord.

The bridge incorporates an asymmetrical design with its cable system arranged in varying lengths from 84 to 287 meters to ensure structural stability.
