Connecting the dots. Storseisundet Bridge, Norway
Norway's picturesque Atlantic Ocean Road crosses eight bridges as it makes its way across islands, islets and reefs to link the island of Averøya with the mainland Romsdal peninsula. The longest of them, pictured here, is the Storseisundet Bridge. This bridge, surrounded by ample natural beauty, is also an architectural marvel. While under construction, the bridge and the workers endured the region's unpredictable weather, including 12 hurricanes. Still, the result of all that hard work is this marvellous work that enthralls visitors to this day. With a dramatic curve and a sudden incline, Storseisundet Bridge creates an illusion of suddenly disappearing into the ocean, surprising drivers and making their heart skip a beat. Its construction showcases the brilliance of Norwegian engineering, blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural beauty.
