Year Completed:1939
Name:Skoltefoss
Location:Elvenes vicinity, Norway
Crossing:Pasvikelva
Use:Vehicular
Status:Destroyed, December 1939
Main Cables:Wire (steel)
Suspended Spans:1

Notes:

  • Opened September 9, 1939 and soon after destroyed in December 1939, bombed by Finland during the Winter War between Russia and Finland.
  • Unclear if this bridge, when constructed, was actually in Norway, Finland, or straddling the border between the two as it existed in 1939. It was constructed directly over falls in an area known as Skoltefoss where a dam has since been constructed. The current border at this location has changed as a result of the WWII-era hostilities between Finland and Russia and is now between Norway and Russia.
