The Fredrikstad Bridge is an arch bridge in the city of Fredrikstad in Østfold county, Norway.[1] It crosses the river Glomma, and connects the western and eastern parts of the city. The bridge is 824 m (2,703 ft) long, with a main span of 196 m (643 ft). The sailing height is 39.5 m (130 ft). The bridge was opened 18 August 1957, by the then crown prince Olav. It is a slightly larger copy of the two-year older Karmsund bridge. The bridge is protected as a national heritage structure.[2]
