The '''Efjord Bridges''' ({{langx|no|Efjordbruene}}) are a series of three bridges that cross the {{convert|1.7|km|adj=on}} wide [[Efjorden]] in [[Narvik Municipality]] in [[Nordland]] county, [[Norway]]. The bridges are a part of the [[European route E6]] highway and they were opened in 1969. The three bridges connect the mainland sides of the fjord via two small islands in the [[fjord]]. The easternmost bridge is the Kjerringstraumen Bridge, then comes the Mellastraumen Bridge, and finally the Sørstraumen Bridge.
*The Kjerringstraumen Bridge ({{langx|no|Kjerringstraumen bru}}) is a [[suspension bridge]]. It is {{convert|551|m}} long, the main span is {{convert|200|m}}, and the maximum clearance to the sea is {{convert|18|m}}. The bridge has 15 spans. This bridge connects the mainland on the east side of the fjord to the island of ''Storøya''. It's the longest of the three bridges.<ref>{{cite book|url=http://www.lotsberg.net/data/norway/bru.html|chapter=Road Viaducts & Bridges in Norway (> 500 m)|editor-last=Merzagora|editor-first=Eugenio A.|title=Norske bruer og viadukter|accessdate=2012-05-18|archive-date=2015-07-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150720222818/http://www.lotsberg.net/data/norway/bru.html|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Structurae|id=20022939|title=Kjerringstraumen Bridge}}.
