Tromsøy bridge

Tromsøy Bridge connects two parts of the Norwegian city of Tromsø, located on the mainland and islands. Road traffic is moving across the bridge. The construction lasted two years (1958-1960). The bridge has won several awards, including the 1963 Betongtavlen. The author of the project is Erlin Viksho. The government strongly supported the construction and allowed to collect money for travel. The length of the bridge is 1036 meters, the width is 8.3 meters. 16 years ago, a high fence was built because the bridge attracted suicides. There are bicycle paths and sidewalks on the bridge. It is considered a monument of the cultural heritage of the country. You can get to Tromsø by plane, bus, car.
