The bridge is part of the European route E6 highway.

It crosses the Skjomen fjord about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) west of the town of Narvik.

The maximum clearance to the sea is 35 metres (115 ft).

[1] Between 1938 and 1972 there was a car ferry here, going on a route about 400 meters north of the present bridge.

The "Roadblock" task for the fifth episode of The Amazing Race 17 was filmed at this bridge.
