The Osterøy Bridge (Norwegian: Osterøybrua) connects Kvisti in
Osterøy municipality (Hordaland county) with the mainland at
Hærland east from Bergen, Norway.
Osterøy Bridge is a suspension bridge and has a main span of 595
meter. The towers are 121.5 meters high. The bridge was completed
October 3, 1997 and cost about 308 million Norwegian kroner. The
bridge is the third largest suspension bridge in Norway.
It was put into service 28 years after the first plans for a
connection between Osterøy and Bergen were prepared. It was opened
for traffic by Norwegian Minister of Transport and Communications
Sissel Rønbeck.
The experts indicate that the bridge should be capable of
surviving an extreme storm. The bridge is tuned so that its
greatest oscillation occurs when the wind is about 10 m/s (i.e., a
light breeze).
