The Skansenbrua ( German Skansenbrücke ) is a 52 meter long railway bridge near Trondheim . The bascule bridge , which opened on March 22, 1918, crosses the Trondheim Canal and thus enables shipping traffic from the canal to the Trondheim Fjord . The bridge was built at the same time as the Dovre railway line when it changed its gauge from narrow gauge to standard gauge . The bridge lies between Trondheim train station and Skansen station, which opened in 1893 .
The bridge was designed by Joseph Baermann Strauss , who, among other things, directed work on the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco . The bridge was built in 2006 by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage under monument protection provided, as the construction type in Norway unique and globally rare. The authority preserved the bridge structure, the technical parts and the transformer house.
