Location

The Tana Bridge (Norwegian: Tana bru) is a bridge that crosses the Tana River in Finnmark, Norway. It is located in a village also called Tana bru.

The bridge was opened for traffic on 15 September 2020. It is a 260 meter long cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 234 meters. It is the only bridge over the lowest 100 km of the Tana River. One nickname ('new bridge') "Nybrua", was in use in 2020 when the village once had two bridges.

Previously, there have been other bridges named Tana Bridge; one bridge was demolished, from late 2020 and into 2021. Previously, one bridge was demolished in 1944.

The bridge glows in different colours of light at night with GVA color-changing luminaires.
