Aursund Bridge

Aursund Bridge (Norwegian: Aursundbrua) is a cantilever bridge that crosses the Aursundet strait between the mainland and the island of Ruøya in the municipality of Aure in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. Along with the Mjosund Bridge, it is part of the road connection between the mainland and Ertvågsøya. The 486-metre (1,594 ft) long Aursund Bridge opened in 1995.

Famous quotes containing the word bridge:

    It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
    Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

    And you O my soul where you stand,
    Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
    Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
    Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
    Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O, my soul.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
