Gamlemshaugen: Lepsøybrua
Few places in Møre og Romsdal have a history as closely tied to sea crossings and island connections as Gamlemshaugen. Set on the route between Haramsøya and Lepsøya, it is associated with Fv659 and the Lepsøybrua crossing, which carries the road across the strait between the islands. This outer-coast setting belongs to Norway’s island-dotted western seaboard, with the Norwegian Sea beyond the sheltered channels. Fishing, boat travel and coastal work have long shaped communities across this part of Sunnmøre. The road link is therefore more than local infrastructure: it binds small island settlements to one another and to the wider Ålesund area, while keeping daily life oriented toward the water.
