Sundøy Bridge (Norwegian: Sundøybrua) is a cantilever bridge in the municipality of Leirfjord in Nordland county, Norway. The concrete bridge connects the mainland to the village of Sundøy on the island of Alsta. The 538-metre (1,765 ft) bridge has three spans, with the main span being 298 metres (978 ft) long. The maximum clearance to the sea is 43.5 metres (143 ft).[2][3]
Sundøy Bridge was opened on 9 August 2003. It was designed by Jan-Eirik Nilsskog. The bridge cost NOK 150 million.[1] The decision to spend such an amount of money on a bridge to a place with less than 150 inhabitants was disputed. However, Sundøy did not get connected to the mainland when the rest of Alsten did, following the opening of Helgeland Bridge in 1991. This was because Seven Sisters mountains separate the two sides of the island with no roads crossing them. Consequently the people at Sundøy thought it was only fair that they got their connection as well.
