**Stavanger City Bridge** ([Norwegian](/source/Norwegian_language): *Stavanger bybru* or just *Bybrua*) is a [cable-stayed bridge](/source/Cable-stayed_bridge) in the [city of Stavanger](/source/Stavanger_(city)) which is in the large [Stavanger Municipality](/source/Stavanger_Municipality) in [Rogaland](/source/Rogaland) county, [Norway](/source/Norway). The bridge has one tower and it was one of the first larger cable-stayed bridges in Norway when it opened on 31 January 1978. The bridge crosses the [Straumsteinsundet](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Straumsteinsundet&action=edit&redlink=1) strait connecting the city centre of Stavanger to the small islands of [Grasholmen](/source/Grasholmen) and [Sølyst](/source/S%C3%B8lyst%2C_Stavanger). It is the main connection to the whole the borough of [Hundvåg](/source/Hundv%C3%A5g%2C_Stavanger) which is a series of islands that are all interconnected by small bridges.

Stavanger bybru

The Stavanger City Bridge is 1,067 metres (3,501 ft) long, the main span is 185 metres (607 ft), and the maximum clearance to the sea is 26 metres (85 ft). The reinforced [concrete](/source/Concrete) bridge has 24 spans.[1][2]

The bridge has a high volume of travelers crossing it every day. This has led to the construction of the new [Hundvåg Tunnel](/source/Hundv%C3%A5g_Tunnel), which will connect the mainland city of Stavanger with the islands of [Buøy](/source/Bu%C3%B8y) and [Hundvåg](/source/Hundv%C3%A5g_(island)). The tunnel opened in 2020. It runs under the strait, immediately west of the bridge.
