The bridge is located just north of the town Sand in the municipality of Suldal on the west coast of Norway.  It is the result of extensive design process which started in 2008 after a design workshop together with Czech architect Ivan Kroupa where the inhabitants of Sand were given the opportunity to make a referendum over some of our initial ideas.
