Nærøysundet is a strait in the municipalities of Vikna and Nærøy in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village and administrative centre of Vikna, Rørvik, is located along the Nærøysundet, on the northwestern side. The 20-kilometre (12 mi) strait is crossed by the Nærøysund Bridge which connects the mainland and the island of Inner-Vikna. The shipping lane along the Norwegian coast passes through the strait, and the ship traffic is guided by the Nærøysund Lighthouse.[1][2][3]
