Norway: EUROPA 2018 "Bridges"

On the norwegian stamp for this year's EUROPA theme you can see Hardanger Bridge. The Hardanger Bridge is not just Norway’s longest suspension bridge - it is also the eighth longest bridge of its type in the entire world. The main span is an impressive 30 m longer than that of the famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. The Hardanger Bridge is one of the most spectacular bridge projects in Norway’s history. The towers reach 200 m above sea level, and the maximum deck height is 55 m. It was officially opened in August 2013.
