Atlantic Ocean Road
Atlanterhavsvegen
An 8.3-kilometre sea road that crosses eight bridges to link islands together. The twisted shape of the Storseisundet Bridge is famous around the world.
The Atlantic Ocean Road (Atlanterhavsvegen) is one of Norway’s National Tourist Routes and opened in 1989. It runs about 8.3 kilometres and uses eight bridges to link a string of small islands between Edøy and Averøy. The most famous, the Storseisundet Bridge, looks like a road to nowhere from certain angles and is one of Norway’s most photographed scenes. Along the way there are several pull-offs, fishing platforms and viewpoint trails. You can drive there from Molde along Rv64 in about 45 minutes, and the route is free. On windy days, spray flies across the road surface, and in winter storms it also draws visitors who come specifically to watch the waves.
