The plans have been developed by Aas-Jakobsen for a Storfjordsambandet, a company which aims to toll finance the bridge.

According to Rolf M. Larssen of Aas-Jakobsen, there is a larger challenge securing sufficient funding than technically building the bridge.

The cable would run down the centre of the bridge, with the lanes on each side of an open area with cross-sections.

Former proposals for the crossing has included a submerged floating tunnel and a pontoon bridge, although both have since been discarded.
