Notes:

  • Translated from Norwegian: "The bridge came in 1913. It soon became clear that the bridge was built of poor materials. It was too late, so the logs could tear it down in flood times. It was therefore reinforced with new cables... In 1935, a major improvement was made to the bridge. It got plank deck so it could be run by horse and carriage over it. At the same time, a new road was worked up through the Tollenesholta from Flakkebrua to Osen. The bridge was also used by smaller private cars until the 1960s. Then it was closed to all motorized traffic. It was still used as a walking and cycling route."
