Askøy Bridge, Suspension bridge in Bergen, Norway.
The Askøy Bridge extends 1,057 meters across Byfjorden, connecting Bergen to Askøy with steel cables supported by 152-meter concrete towers.
The bridge construction began in April 1989 and opened on December 12, 1992, replacing the previous ferry service between Bergen and Askøy.
The bridge design by architect Knut Selberg integrates Norwegian engineering traditions with modern transportation requirements through the fjord landscape.
County Road 562 crosses the bridge with two vehicle lanes and a separate path for pedestrians and cyclists, providing 62 meters clearance for ships.
The bridge structure incorporates seven spans, with the main suspension span measuring 850 meters, making it the longest in Norway at completion.
