The '''Rombak Bridge''' ({{langx|no|Rombaksbrua}}) is a [[suspension bridge]] in [[Narvik Municipality]] in [[Nordland]] county, [[Norway]]. The bridge crosses the [[Rombaken]] fjord near the [[Narvik (town)|town of Narvik]]. The {{convert|765|m|ft|adj=mid|-long}} bridge was opened in 1964. The main span is {{convert|325|m}}, and the maximum clearance to the sea is {{convert|41|m}}.<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=2012-05-23}}</ref>

The bridge was originally part of the [[European route E6]] highway, but the road was in December 2018 re-routed further west over the new [[Hålogaland Bridge]], a long [[suspension bridge]]. The reason for that was to shorten the distance by {{convert|18|km}}; the Rombak Bridge has a weight limit of {{convert|90|MT|lk=on}}, which is not sufficient for a modern highway, and that there is a danger of [[avalanche]]s on the road near the bridge. The Rombak Bridge is now on a county road.

The bridge is not tolled, and when driving from Narvik to Kiruna in Sweden over the Rombak Bridge, there is no toll. The Hålogaland Bridge has a toll station, and there is one more along E10 on the north side of the fjord.
