The **Rombak Bridge** ([Norwegian](/source/Norwegian_language): *Rombaksbrua*) is a [suspension bridge](/source/Suspension_bridge) in [Narvik Municipality](/source/Narvik_Municipality) in [Nordland](/source/Nordland) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). The bridge crosses the [Rombaken](/source/Rombaken) fjord near the [town of Narvik](/source/Narvik_(town)). The 765-metre-long (2,510 ft) bridge was opened in 1964. The main span is 325 metres (1,066 ft), and the maximum clearance to the sea is 41 metres (135 ft).[1]

The bridge was originally part of the [European route E6](/source/European_route_E6) highway, but the road was in December 2018 re-routed further west over the new [Hålogaland Bridge](/source/H%C3%A5logaland_Bridge), a long [suspension bridge](/source/Suspension_bridge). The reason for that was to shorten the distance by 18 kilometres (11 mi); the Rombak Bridge has a weight limit of 90 [metric tons](/source/Tonne) (89 [long tons](/source/Long_ton); 99 [short tons](/source/Short_ton)), which is not sufficient for a modern highway, and that there is a danger of [avalanches](/source/Avalanche) 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.
