Osterøybrua

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).
