Håvik: Bømlabrua
Few places in Vestland have a history as closely tied to the Triangle Link as Bømlabrua. This suspension bridge carries Fv542 across Spissøysundet between the islands of Føyno and Spissøy in Bømlo municipality. Opened in 2001, it became part of the road system that gave Bømlo a fixed connection to both the mainland and Stord. The project also includes Stord Bridge and the Bømlafjord Tunnel. Bømlabrua’s 577-metre main span is a major work of coastal engineering above a narrow sound, where low wooded islands meet the wider waters of the Bømlafjorden.

It belongs to the Bømlo island area of Sunnhordland, a maritime district whose communities have long depended on fishing, seafaring and coastal trade. The Bømlafjord Tunnel, part of the Triangle Link road connection, links Bømlo’s island communities to the mainland network.

Among the regions of Norway, Vestland stands out for fjords that cut deep into a coast backed by high mountains. Sognefjord, Norway’s longest and deepest fjord, reaches far inland, while Hardangerfjord is closely associated with orchards and spring blossom. The county extends from wave-battered islands and sheltered coastal communities to valleys, waterfalls and upland terrain. Bergen, Vestland’s largest city, developed as a Hanseatic trading centre; its wooden Bryggen wharf is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Maritime life, mountain routes and farming communities meet here.

Norway has served as a seafaring link between the North Atlantic and northern Europe since the Viking Age. Its long coastline is cut by fjords, while the Lofoten archipelago rises sharply from the Norwegian Sea and the mountains of Jotunheimen include Galdhøpiggen, Norway’s highest peak. Bergen’s Bryggen, the former Hanseatic wharf, recalls centuries of maritime trade. Farther north, Sámi culture remains an essential part of the country’s identity.
