Sluppen Bridge

Sluppenbrua is a road bridge across the Nidelva river in Trondheim, Norway. It is 82 meters long, and connects the Norwegian National Road 706 to the areas east of Nidelva.

Originally, Sluppenbrua was built as a railway bridge on the Trondhjem–Støren Line, which was opened in 1864. This bridge was around 200 m long og 30 m tall, made by timber standing on a foundations of rock. This bridge was torn down in 1884 when the new Dovre Line going by Nidareid was opened. The foundations were transferred for free to the Norwegian Public Roads Administration in 1927 with the intent to build a road bridge on the same spot.

The new road bridge was postponed, resulting in the first road bridge to be built being a provisional truss bridge built in wood by order of the German military. This bridge was opened in July 1942.
