This graceful crossing, the second longest of its type in the world, is being built in situ using high performance concrete Sundoya Bridge is situated in one of Norways most scenic areas, only 100km south of the Arctic Circle. The 538m-long bridge spans Sundet, and when it is complete will provide a ferry-free road connection between Sundoya and the mainland. It is located some 35km west of the city of Mosjoen, close to highway 78 between Mosjoen and Sandnessjoen. It will be the second large bridge project connecting Alstenoya to the mainland, coming more than 12 years after the Helgeland Bridge was opened. The region is no stranger to world-record scale bridges ?the Helgeland Bridges 425m long main span was the longest cable-stayed span in the world when it opened in 1992. Sundoya Bridge is divided into three spans; it has a main span of 298m and two side spans of 120m. The main span will be the second longest span in the world for a continuous post-tensioned cast in place box section concrete bridge. In terms of its design, consultant Dr Ing Aas-Jakobsen has followed a similar approach to that taken for the Raftsundet Bridge, opened in 1998, to which the Sundoya Bridge will almost be a twin. The two bridges have identical main spans, but Raftsundet has four spans as opposed to Sundoyas three. Contractor AS Anlegg, which is part of the joint venture building Sundoya, was also the contractor on the Raftsundet Bridge, and architect Boarch Arkitekter has also worked on the two schemes. In January 2001 the joint venture company AF Sundoybrua won the contract from client Statens Vegvesen to build the Sundoya Bridge. This joint venture consisted of the contractors Reinertsen Anlegg and NCC Construction. High performance concrete is central to the design of the bridge ?both
