Skjeggestad Bridge


Skjeggestad Bridge is the name of two parallel highway bridges on European route E18 in Holmestrand municipality, Vestfold og Telemark county, Norway.
On 2 February 2015 the southbound bridge partially collapsed. No one was injured and both bridges were closed after collapse. The reason for the collapse was a landslide in the quick clay surrounding a support pillar. The southbound lane was fully destroyed in controlled explosive demolitions on 21 February and 25 March 2015.
The northbound lane was repaired and reopened to two-way traffic on 26 June 2015.
The southbound lane was partially reopened on 1 July and fully operational on 4 July 2016, 17 months after the collapse.
