'''Lysefjord Bridge''' {{langx|no|Lysefjordbrua}} is a [[suspension bridge]] over the [[Lysefjorden]] in [[Rogaland]] county, [[Norway]]. The bridge connects [[Strand Municipality]] (on the north end of the bridge) and [[Sandnes Municipality]] (on the south end of the bridge). Construction on the {{convert|639|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} bridge began in 1995 and was finished in 1997 at a cost of {{NOK|150 million}}.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Reference Portfolio - Lysefjord Bridge |url=http://www.aaj.no/bruer/pdf/Lysefjord_referanse_eng.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303200040/http://www.aaj.no/bruer/pdf/Lysefjord_referanse_eng.pdf |archive-date=3 March 2016 |access-date=9 August 2014 |publisher=Aas Jakobsen |language=no |format=PDF}}</ref>
The bridge carries [[Norwegian county road]] 4630, connecting to [[Norwegian county road]] 523 on the north end. Its main span is {{convert|446|m}}, the depth of the deck is {{convert|2.7|m}}, and the width of the bridge is {{convert|12.3|m}}. The supporting towers are {{convert|102|m}} tall, and are made of [[reinforced concrete]]. The bridge sits about {{convert|50|m}} above sea level, leaving enough room for the regular ferry service that runs under the bridge to the village of [[Lysebotn]], located at the other end of the long, narrow fjord.<ref>{{Cite book |url=http://www.lotsberg.net/data/norway/bru.html |title=Norske bruer og viadukter |editor-last=Merzagora |editor-first=Eugenio A. |chapter=Road Viaducts & Bridges in Norway (> 500 m) |access-date=2016-02-17}}</ref><ref>{{Structurae|id=20004011|title=Lysefjord Bridge}}.
