Kvalsaukan Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kvalsaukan Bridge (Kvalsaukan bru) is a bridge that crosses Hognfjorden in Nordland county in Norway, on the road between Sortland and Andøy. The bridge is 425 metres long, and the maximum clearance to the sea is 8 metres.
Kvalsaukan Bridge was opened in 1975. It was one of 4 bridges that were built in the 1970s to connect the islands of Vesterålen to each other. The other bridges that were built during that period are Sortland Bridge, Andøy Bridge and Hadsel Bridge. Together with Tjeldsund Bridge near Harstad these bridges connect the islands of Vesterålen to the mainland. Kvalsaukan Bridge is the only of these 4 bridges that was never a toll bridge.
