Skansen Bridge, Railway bridge in Trondheim, Norway
The Skansen Bridge spans 52 meters across the Trondheim Canal, featuring a single-leaf iron truss design with an overhead counterweight system.
Opening in 1918, the Skansen Bridge was engineered by Joseph Strauss, who later designed the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.
The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage recognized the bridge's architectural value in 2006, marking it as an essential part of Norway's industrial legacy.
The bridge maintains dual functionality by allowing trains to cross while its bascule mechanism opens to let maritime vessels pass through the canal.
The parallelogram-suspended counterweight system makes this bridge one of the few remaining examples of this engineering design in the world.
