About the place
(wikipedia)
The Storseisundet Bridge is the longest of the eight bridges that make up the Atlanterhavsveien ("The Atlantic Road"), the road connection from the mainland Romsdal peninsula to the island of Averøya in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. The bridge sits on the border between Eide Municipality and Averøy Municipality and passes through an archipelago as it links mainland Norway with the island of Averoy. The bridge was described as "The road to nowhere" by the Daily Mail in 2011.
Storseisundet Bridge is a cantilever bridge that is 260 metres (850 ft) long and with a maximum clearance to the sea of 23 metres (75 ft). It was opened on 7 July 1989, and it was a toll road until June 1999. Over the six years that it took to construct, workers struggled with the region's wild weather and were interrupted by twelve hurricanes.
