Rombak Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rombak Bridge (Rombaksbrua) is a suspension bridge, opened in 1964, that crosses the fjord Rombaken near the town of Narvik in Nordland county in Norway. The bridge is 765 metres long, the main span is 325 metres, and the maximum clearance to the sea is 41 metres.

The bridge has a weight limit of 90 tons. That, and danger of avalanches on the road near the bridge, has led to plans for a new bridge, a long suspension bridge straight across the fjord from Narvik to Øyjord. The new bridge will save some driving distance and time as well. But the new bridge will be expensive, and it is still uncertain if the new bridge will actually be built.
