**Lysefjord Bridge** [Norwegian](/source/Norwegian_language): *Lysefjordbrua* is a [suspension bridge](/source/Suspension_bridge) over the [Lysefjorden](/source/Lysefjorden) in [Rogaland](/source/Rogaland) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). The bridge connects [Strand Municipality](/source/Strand_Municipality) (on the north end of the bridge) and [Sandnes Municipality](/source/Sandnes_Municipality) (on the south end of the bridge). Construction on the 639-metre-long (2,096 ft) bridge began in 1995 and was finished in 1997 at a cost of 150 million kr.[1]

The bridge carries [Norwegian county road](/source/Norwegian_county_road) 4630, connecting to [Norwegian county road](/source/Norwegian_county_road) 523 on the north end. Its main span is 446 metres (1,463 ft), the depth of the deck is 2.7 metres (8 ft 10 in), and the width of the bridge is 12.3 metres (40 ft). The supporting towers are 102 metres (335 ft) tall, and are made of [reinforced concrete](/source/Reinforced_concrete). The bridge sits about 50 metres (160 ft) above sea level, leaving enough room for the regular ferry service that runs under the bridge to the village of [Lysebotn](/source/Lysebotn), located at the other end of the long, narrow fjord.[2][3]
