Måløy Bridge

The Måløy Bridge stretches 1274 meters across the Måløystraumen strait, connecting the mainland village of Degnepoll to the town of Måløy on Vågsøy Island.

The bridge construction began in October 1970 by Eeg Henriksen A/S company and opened for traffic in December 1973, with King Olav V conducting the official ceremony.

The bridge represents a remarkable example of local community involvement, as residents and politicians worked together for over ten years to secure funding.

The structure contains 34 spans and maintains a clearance of 42 meters above sea level, allowing vessels to pass underneath through its 125-meter main spans.

During its first operational year, the bridge recorded 188,000 vehicle crossings, exceeding initial traffic projections by 78,000 vehicles.
