Gisundbrua is the bridge that connects the island of Senja to the mainland at Finnsnes. It was opened by Crown Prince Harald on 23 June 1972 and was the first permanent road link between the island and the rest of Norway. Before the bridge, everyone depended on ferries.
The bridge is 1,147 metres long with 25 spans and crosses the Gisundet strait at a height of 41 metres. It lands on the Senja side at Silsand, the largest settlement on the island.
The crossing takes about a minute by car. There is no toll.
