Hardanger Bridge is a suspension bridge connects the municipalities of Ullensvang and Ulvik.
It replaced a ferry connection between Bruravik and Brimnes, and thereby shortens
the driving time between Oslo and Bergen. It is also the longest tunnel-to-tunnel suspension bridge in the
world. It is the longest suspension bridge in Norway; the span 1,310meters.
On the south end of the bridge, cars enter the 1.2-kilometre Bu Tunnel that goes under the village of Bu
and on the north side of the bridge, cars enter the 7.5-kilometre Vallavik Tunnel
which includes a 500-metre long segment to a roundabout inside the tunnel.
