Hardanger Bridge
Hardangerbrua
A suspension bridge opened in 2013 with a 1,310 m main span; it was once the world's longest main-span suspension bridge linked to tunnels, with both ends running directly into mountain tunnels.
The bridge spans the mouth of Eidfjord, linking Ulvik, Eidfjord and the Voss direction, replacing the former ferry. Both ends drill straight into the mountain, and the north-end tunnel contains a rare underground roundabout. The deck has dedicated lanes for bicycles and pedestrians, so you can walk onto the bridge to look down over the fjord. Motor vehicles cross free of charge (the toll has been abolished; please check current policy). Near Brimnes on the south shore is a good spot to photograph the full bridge.
