You are looking at the edge of the pavement. From there it's straight down.

Highway 550 in Colorado. Hit the wall or do the fall. No room for error. The edge of the pavement is the edge of the drop. A fantastic road to drive. This road goes from Durango to Silverton, Colorado.

Norway's Hardangerbrua Bridge

Hardangerbrua 25. juni from FPV-Leif on Vimeo.

Construction has began. Hardangerbrua Bridge is bridge under construction which will cross the Hardangerfjord in southwestern Norway. It will replace today's ferry connection.

The bridge will be about 1380 metres long, with a main span of 1310 meters. It will be a suspension bridge, the eighth longest spans in the world. The small difference between length and span is because the fjord quickly becomes very deep, so the towers is been built on land. close to the fjord. Each tower will be 186m tall, been built on land they will reach 200m above the sea level. There will be 2 lanes for traffic and one lane for bicycles and pedestrians. The sailing height under the bridge will be 55 m.

Due to very steep mountains on each side of the fjord the road have to run into a tunnel immediately after the bridge. There will be a 2.4km long tunnel on the southern side, and a 800m long tunnel connecting to an existing 7.5km long tunnel on the northern side of the fjord. Construction of these tunnels started in February 2009. The construction of the bridge itself will start in 2010 when the tunnels are completed. They hope to have the bridge opened in the end of 2013.
