The old bridge at Vestnes

The old bridge over the Vestnesstraumen sound dates back to 1844, and in 1997 it was voted culture memorial of the year in the municipality. The over 150 year old wooden bridge is located in the middle of the municipality centre and rests on a foundation of natural rocks.

The bridge was rescued from  being torn down at the end of the 1960s, and after several restorations it now serves as a pedestrian bridge next to two newer bridges from 1955 and 1998. There are therefore three bridges side by side in the municipality centre!
