The project
Part of the Torsken package. The Gryllefjord bridge was a part of the Torsken package which consists of 16 road projects in the municipality of Torsken and Berg. The projects are largely funded by government resources and county council funds, of which the majority of the funding is being used for landslide protection.
Project scope. The project included the construction of a 315-metre long steel box girder bridge. The steel structure was constructed in Poland and transported to Norway by boat - a trip which took ten days. The bridge arrived in three sections and was installed in three days. In addition to the bridge installation the contract also included asphalting and installation of railings. The bridge opened for traffic in August 2014.
