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:
“Oh, who will now be able to relate how Pantagruel behaved in face of these three hundred giants! Oh my muse, my Calliope, my Thalie, inspire me now, restore my spirits, because here is the ass’s bridge of logic, here is the pitfall, here is the difficulty of being able to describe the horrible battle undertaken.”
—François Rabelais (1494–1553)
