Excerpt from Wikipedia

The Skjomen Bridge (Norwegian:Skjombrua) is a suspension bridge in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The bridge is part of the European route E6 highway. It crosses the Skjomen fjord about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) east of the town of Narvik. The 711-metre (2,333 ft) bridge has a main span of 525 metres (1,722 ft). The maximum clearance to the sea is 35 metres (115 ft). The bridge has nine spans. The Skjomen Bridge was opened in 1972. Between 1938 and 1972 there was a car ferry here, going on a route about 400 meters north of the present bridge.

The roadblock for The Amazing Race 17 was filmed at this bridge. The contestant had to rappel down a rope hanging from the bridge and then climb back up the rope.
