The Rombak Bridge (Norwegian: Rombaksbrua) is a suspension bridge that crosses the Rombaken fjord near the town of Narvik in Nordland county, Norway. The 765-metre (2,510 ft) long bridge was opened in 1964. The main span is 325 metres (1,066 ft) and the maximum clearance to the sea is 41 metres (135 ft).
The bridge has a weight limit of 90 metric tons (89 long tons; 99 short tons). That, along with the danger of avalanches on the road near the bridge, has led to plans for a new bridge, the Hålogaland Bridge. It will be a long suspension bridge that goes straight across the fjord from Narvik to Øyjord. The new bridge will save some driving distance and time as well.
