Motorists experience a scare on a Norwegian bridge (but it’s merely an optical illusion)
This is not a launching ramp for spaceships, but rather a bridge situated on one of Norway’s most picturesque and frequented tourist routes – the Atlantic Ocean Road (known as Atlanterhavsveien in Norwegian).
The Storseisundet bridge makes a sharp curve as it arches over several small islands and bodies of water.
The bridge’s approach can be intimidating, as it appears to terminate suddenly, leading one to feel that proceeding would send vehicles plummeting into the waters below.
Spanning eight bridges, the Atlantic Road connects Norway’s mainland to the Island of Averøy, with Storseisundet being the longest and most breathtaking among them.
With its stunning route and the 260-meter-long cantilevered Storseisundet Bridge, the Atlantic Ocean Road has been awarded the title of “Norwegian Construction of the Century” and stands as Norway’s second most popular scenic road after Trollstigen.
