Skodje Bridge

The Skodje Bridge (Norwegian: Skodje bru) is a bridge that crosses the Skodjestraumen in Ålesund Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway.

It is a steel arch bridge that is 290 metres (950 ft) long.

For the last few years before the new bridge was opened, the old bridges had restrictions on the weight and width of the cars that crossed it, and that meant that heavier traffic had to take a longer road through the village of Skodje.

It was not until 1909 that the local council agreed to pay 27,000 kr to start the work on the bridge.

Chief engineer Hovdenakk, from the Public Roads Administration office in Molde, constructed and led the work on the bridge.
