Built in 2002, this pedestrian footway serves as a symbolic connection between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. The structure spans a major fissure known as the Álfagjá rift valley, which marks the point where these two continental plates are actively diverging.
The bridge offers a perspective on the geological forces shaping the landscape. It crosses a visible rift formed by the movement of tectonic plates, providing a clear view of the geological boundary.
The bridge functions as a tourist attraction focused on geology. It is possible to walk across the span to see the fissure from above.
