Bridges Between / My World Tuesday

Today I combine two memes in one post. I will add Bridges Between into My World Tuesday.

This brigde is located in Trondheim connecting the city center and Nedre Elvehavn.

The bridge is crossing the river Nidelven. In Trondheim we like to call this bridge Blomsterbrua, The Flower Bridge. Because in the summertime there are lots of flowers planted out along the hand rail on both sides.

Behind the bridge you can see a part of Rica Nidelven Hotel.

Here you are looking towards Nedre Elvehavn and Solsiden Shopping center.

For more Bridges, please visit RuneE.

Some minutes away from the Flower Bridge you will find Nidaros Cathedral.

This wonderful cathedral was built between 1070 and 1300.

A new bridge across the river Nidelven in Trondheim is under construction. The bridge and the new road will guide traffic around our city center. Hopefully there will be less traffic jam when this is finished.

This is Skarnsundet Bridge. It crosses the strait Skarnsundet in Trondheimsfjord. The bridge was, on its completion in 1991, the longest cable-stayed bridge in the world by the length of main span.  Total length is 1010 meters, longest span 530 meters. Clearence below is 45 meters.

In the construction of the bridge, starting in 1988, 19.600 km³ concrete was used and the 208 cables with a total length of 33 km weigh 1 030 tonnes. The cables have a diameter varying between 52 mm and 85 mm and can, if needed, be replaced separately. The bridge is fundamented in bedrock below the seabed under each tower. The bridge was build to withstand winds up to 48,5 m/s (century storms) and is control calculated for earthquakes.

This bridge was built in 1861. The carved gates have made it Trondheim's distinctive hallmark.
A sentry and excise house stood at either end of the bridge. The excise house on the west side is still standing and is now used as a day-care centre. The bridge and gates you see here were built by Carl Adolf Dahl, the executive municipal engineer in charge of public buildings and works in the last half of the 19th century. The wooden gate on the west side of the bridge is known as the Gate of Fortune.

The Old Town Bridge crosses the Nidelva river and leads into Bakklandet.
