Puddefjord #bridge. Puddikæn. Pudden. A beloved child has many names.

This bridge was built in 1956, and connected the city center peninsula with Gyldenpris, and on to important throughlines to Fyllingsdalen and Laksevåg, an important part of the urbanisation of adjacent areas of #Bergen.

The original bridge had 3 lanes, the middle of which changed direction based on rush traffic – to the city in the morning, and from the city in the afternoon. An identical bridge was build next to it in 1999, so the modern bridge has six lanes – three each way.
