Skjeggestad Bridge

Skjeggestad Bridge (Skjeggestadbrua) is the name of two parallel highway bridges on the European route E18 highway in Holmestrand Municipality in Vestfold county, Norway. The bridges are located about 2 km southwest of the town of Holmestrand.

History
On 2 February 2015, the southbound bridge partially collapsed. No one was injured and both bridges were closed after collapse. The collapse was caused by 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.
