The Åkviksundet Bridge (Norwegian: Åkviksundet bru) is a box girder bridge that crosses the Åkviksundet strait between the islands of Dønna and Staulen in Nordland county, Norway. Together with the Hoholmen Bridge, it forms the road connection between the municipalities of Herøy and Dønna. The bridge is 285 metres (935 ft) long, the longest of the 3 spans is 135 metres (443 ft), and the maximum clearance to the sea is 24.2 metres (79 ft).
