Storseisundet Bridge
The most famous bridge on the road it is also the longest
of the eight bridges on the road. Although only 280
meters long it is notable for it's unusual design which
makes it appear from the angle of the road that it is a "Bridge
to Nowhere", hence this is often it's nickname given by
the UK newspaper The Daily Mail in 2011
website.
Technical a reinforced concrete cantilever bridge it not
only arches up over the water, but also bends to one side
while in mid air so as to land on the next island without
requiring a sharp turn. This turn means that the end
of the bridge is not visible as you approach, as a driver
would expect of a normal humped bridge and so gives the
optical illusion that the bridge ends in mid air.
