However, you will be relieved to hear that this is simply something of an optical illusion. The bridge is built in such a way that from a certain angle, as you approach, it looks as it is more diving board than bridge. One can only imagine the creative spirit that overcame the architect as he sat at his desk. Known locally as the drunk bridge it forms part of the Atlanterhavsveien or Atlantic Ocean Road in English and attracts many a curious visitor. The bridge's design is functional and curious much like an l shaped desk in a modern office, it still is an amazing location to behold.

Even when you can see the whole bridge it still looks, frankly, scary.
