Sannesund Bridge

Sannesund Bridge is a motorway structure spanning the Glomma river between Sarpsborg and Fredrikstad with four traffic lanes for vehicles. The passage underneath allows river traffic to pass through, and a separate path exists for people without cars.

The crossing first opened in 1978 and became the main link between the two municipalities. In 2008, a parallel structure was added to handle growing traffic volumes over time.

The bridge links two communities on either side of the river and is used daily by many people traveling between them. It has become an ordinary part of life for those who cross it regularly.

The structure is part of the European route E6 and easy to reach by car from either side. Pedestrians and cyclists have a dedicated path that runs alongside the main roadway.

A narrow pedestrian walkway runs beneath the main structure, offering a separate crossing for people without cars. This hidden path is easy to overlook but provides an important route for many walkers and cyclists.
