The Nærøysund Bridge (Norwegian: Nærøysund bru) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Nærøysundet strait between the islands of Marøya (in Nærøy) and Vikna in Nord-Trøndelag county, Norway. It is located about 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the village of Rørvik. Together with the Marøysund Bridge, it connects the islands of Vikna to the mainland. The Nærøysund Bridge is 701 metres (2,300 ft) long, the main span is 325 metres (1,066 ft), and the maximum clearance to the sea is 41 metres (135 ft). The bridge has 17 spans. The Nærøysund Bridge was opened in 1981, when it briefly held the title of the world's longest cable-stay bridge.
