Minnesund Bridge, Box girder road bridge in Eidsvoll Municipality, Norway.
Minnesund Bridge is a steel road bridge that spans 532 meters and connects two shores of Lake Mjøsa. The structure is built using box girder sections, with the main span reaching approximately 80 meters in length.
This bridge was built to better connect communities on both sides of Lake Mjøsa and to improve traffic flow between Oslo and northern regions. Its construction represented an important step in the development of Norwegian transportation infrastructure.
The bridge links two shores of Lake Mjøsa, a large body of water in this region, and people use this location to watch the landscape around them. The crossing has become part of daily life for local communities who regularly travel across it.
The crossing is open to vehicle traffic and connects two important road routes, enabling everyday through-traffic. From here you get a good view of the lake and surrounding landscape, especially while driving.
The structure uses a special box girder construction method that allows it to withstand challenging conditions such as ice formation and extreme weather. This engineering solution enables the bridge to remain stable even as it spans a large, dynamic body of water.
