Gjemnessund Bridge, Suspension bridge in Gjemnes Municipality, Norway.
Gjemnessund Bridge is a suspension bridge made of reinforced concrete and steel that stretches across the strait, linking the mainland to Bergsøya island. The structure rises about 100 meters above the water and consists of multiple spans engineered to handle the challenging marine environment.
Built and opened in 1992, this bridge was a major achievement in connecting remote coastal communities to larger cities by road. It completed a key infrastructure project that transformed how people and goods moved through the region.
The bridge has become a defining landmark in the region and a symbol of connection between previously isolated communities. People pass over it daily, and it represents how modern infrastructure reshaped the area's geography.
The bridge carries the E39 highway and is open to regular traffic, with pedestrians and cyclists able to cross alongside vehicles. Weather conditions can be challenging, especially during storms or strong winds, so it is wise to check conditions before crossing.
The structure has protective membranes installed to shield the concrete from corrosive seabird droppings, a specialized maintenance requirement that sets it apart. This unusual challenge demonstrates how marine environments create unexpected engineering problems for coastal infrastructure.
