Elgeseter Bridge, Concrete beam bridge in Trondheim, Norway.
Description
Elgeseter Bridge is a concrete beam crossing that spans the Nidelva River and connects the central city with southern Trondheim. The structure consists of eight spans supported by six piers, with a total length of approximately 201 meters and a height of about 17 meters above water level.
History
The first crossing at this location was recorded in 1178 and served as an important river passage for the developing city. The present concrete structure was completed in 1951 to replace earlier structures and accommodate growing traffic through the area.
Culture
The bridge location marks a centuries-old crossing point that has connected the Midtbyen area with southern Trondheim since the first recorded structure in 1178.
Practical
The crossing accommodates four traffic lanes for cars and trucks moving through the area. The water clearance allows smaller boats and watercraft to navigate the river safely beneath the structure.
Did you know?
The location once hosted a wooden railway bridge called Kongsgårds bro, which was built in 1863 for Trondheim's early rail line. This earlier connection played a role in the development of the city's railway network.
