| Description |
|
|
This cable-stayed
road bridge links the island of Alsta
and the mainland across the
Leirfjorden in Norway's Nordland
district. Constructed of
pre-stressed and reinforced concrete
with steel cables, the bridge is 1,065
metres long and 138 metres high.
It is made up of 12 spans the longest
being 45 metres in length. The
foundations extend to a depth of 31
metres.
 The approach to
the bridge from Sandnessjoen is by
means of a causeway.
 When it
opened, it was a toll bridge to
recoup the 200 million kronar
construction cost. This
continued until June of 2005.
