The Tresfjord Bridge (Norwegian: Tresfjordbrua) is a bridge in Vestnes Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.
The 1,290-metre-long (4,230 ft) bridge across Tresfjorden from Remmem (just south of Vestnes) to Vikebukt officially opened to traffic on 24th October 2015.
It carries the European route E136 highway over the fjord, re-routing it from its former path that ran all the way around the shoreline of Tresfjorden. The prime minister Erna Solberg was at the opening ceremony, stepping in for the Minister of Transport, Ketil Solvik-Olsen. [1][2]
