Havøysund Bridge

Congratulations! You are now standing on the world’s most northerly bridge of significant size. The bridge which stretches nearly 300 metres over the sound from Havøysund to the mainland, was opened for traffic in 1986 by the beloved King Olav V. Many boats pass under the bridge daily, and it has a sailing clearance height of 23 metres. To the east you can see Måsøy and behind it Nordkapp. To the west you can see Rolvsøya before the horizon is swallowed by the Norwegian sea. The bridge doesn’t only connect Havøysund with the mainland, it also connects the mainland to Havøysund. Which gave the people who live in the municipality on the mainland, easier access to public and other services.
