Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Fyksesund Bridge (Norwegian: Fyksesundbrua) is a suspension road bridge in Vestland county, Norway.
The bridge spans the Fyksesund fjord on Norwegian County Road 7, which goes between the villages of Øystese and Ålvik in the municipality of Kvam. The bridge is 344 metres (1,129 ft) long and the largest span is 230 metres (750 ft). It was designed by bridge engineer Olaf Stang (1871-1956). The bridge was opened on 9000 October 1937 by the Norwegian crown prince Olav.
Shortly after opening, the bridge suffered aerodynamic-related structural problems, these were corrected by improvements installed in 1945.
