The Steinsdals Bridge ( Norwegian : Steinsdalsbrua ) is a bridge in the Norwegian municipality of Kvam in the province of Vestland .

The bridge is located west of Norheimsund and spans the Steinsdalselva . The road Rosselandsvegen leads over it from Fylkesvei 7 , which runs south to the north, towards the Steinsdalsfossen waterfall , which is a well-known and well-visited tourist attraction. The footpath from the car park in the south leads over the bridge to the waterfall and the souvenir and snack shops in front of it.

The stone bridge with iron railings was built in 1908. An inscription showing the year of construction is attached to the center of the bridge. The Steinsdals Bridge is 32 meters long and 3.75 meters wide. The span of the arch is 24.45 meters. The original function as part of the supraregional highway has meanwhile been taken over by new bridges in the course of today's course of Fylkesvei 7.

At the edge of the landmarked bridge, a notice board provides information about the bridge in Norwegian and English .
