Rovdefjordbrua: A floating bridge in Ålesund, Norway

Designed by Snøhetta. Rovdefjordbrua is an amazing floating bridge  with a 230 meter long submerged tunnel that allow travelers cross the fjord in south of Ålesund, Norway without interrupting vessel traffic.

On the one hand, the project aims to investigate new bridge technology. The project in Rovdefjorden could be the world’s first submerged floating tunnel with water on all sides, and it is therefore an important pilot project for fjord crossings

On the other hand, there is a strong focus on the functionality of the project. It has been crucial to make a safe and enjoyable experience for drivers, bikers, and pedestrians crossing the fjord. The design introduces a pedestrian path on the bridge that follows the curve of the tunnel and swirls up onto its construction around the island. This gives people passing by the opportunity to stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the fjord
