Nordhordland Bridge

The Nordhordland Bridge is a combined cable-stayed and pontoon bridge which crosses Salhusfjorden between Klauvaneset and the island of Flatøy in Vestland county, Norway. It is 1,614 meters long, of which the pontoon section is 1,246 meters long. The cable-stayed section consists of a single 99-meter tall H-pylon which has a length of 368 meters and a main span of 172 meters. This allows for a clearance of 32 meters.

The floating section is a steel box girder bridge with ten pontoons, which because of the fjord's depth are not laterally anchored. The roadway sits on an orthotropic deck. The pontoons and the cable-stayed bridge are built in concrete, with the main span being supported with 48 cables. The fjord end of the main span is supported by a 30-meter deep foundation, where the two bridges meet. From there and for 414 meters, the roadwall has a 5.7 percent gradient on a viaduct anchored to the pontoon bridge.
