Farrisbrua, roadbridge in Larvik, Norway
Farrisbrua is a steel road bridge that crosses the Farrisvatnet near Larvik. It spans approximately 570 meters and uses a cable-stayed design with tall towers supporting the deck from above through steel cables.
Construction of Farrisbrua began in 2013 and was completed in 2018 to improve transportation connections in the region. The project was part of long-standing plans to modernize the road network in southern Norway.
The bridge serves as a vital connection for daily life in Larvik, linking different parts of the town. It has become a familiar landmark for residents who cross it regularly on their journeys.
The bridge can be viewed from various points around the water and is easily visible from the road or by boat. Vehicles and pedestrians use it daily, and the structure is designed to withstand various weather conditions.
The bridge's foundations extend deep into bedrock, reaching depths of about 80 meters below the surface to ensure absolute stability. This remarkable engineering effort remains hidden below, providing the structural security that keeps the bridge sound for many decades.
