Sandesund Bridge was opened in 1978. It carries traffic on European route E6. Under the bridge is a narrow pedestrian bridge over Glomma. Sannesund Bridge is actually two bridges travelling in opposite directions. In 2005, a duplicate of the old bridge began construction. The new bridge parallel to the old one was opened in May 2008. The old bridge was subsequently closed for renovation. It opened again in November 2008, creating a four-lane motorway. [2]
