Kvalsund: Nerlandsøybrua
Few places in Møre og Romsdal have a history as closely tied to island connections as Kvalsund. Set on Kvalsundet, this coastal settlement is linked to Nerlandsøya by Nerlandsøybrua, a road bridge completed in 1967. The crossing joins inhabited islands in Herøy municipality and carries Fv5878, placing Kvalsund within the road network of Norway’s outer coast. A small marina and waterfront homes underline the continuing importance of the sea, while cultivated fields beneath steep island slopes give the area a maritime-rural character. Kvalsund shows how bridges, harbours and scattered settlements shape life among the islands west of Ålesund.
