A permanent part of the cityscape, the Tromsø Bridge crosses the Tromsøysundet on the east side of the island, and was no small feat when it was built at the end of the 1950s.

It was Norway’s first cantilever bridge and for a time was the longest bridge in Northern Europe, at just over one kilometre.

Climbing to 38 metres above the water, the bridge has 58 spans, the longest, at the centre, extending to 80 metres.
