The south bridge is called Kubholmleia Bridge (Norwegian: Kubholmleia bru) and the north bridge is Røssøystraumen Bridge (Norwegian: Røssøystraumen bru). The two bridges are each 240 metres (790 ft) long, with a cantilevered center span of 115 metres (377 ft).[1][2][3]
The bridges, which opened in 1988, are among many bridges that interconnect the islands of the Lofoten archipelago. The only other bridge connecting these two islands is the Kåkern Bridge.
