The 'Hadsel Bridge' is 1011 metres long, the main span is 150 metres and the maximum clearance to the sea is 30 metres. The bridge has a total of 27 spans and was built in 1978.

I like this rainy mood, one of my favorite places there, located in Steinsfjorden on the north western side of Vestvågøy between Tangstad and Unstad. No sight to the mountain Himmelstindan behind in the fog.
