SINTEF and NorNet is making some grand plans for a truly unique bridge between Bø and Hadsel in Nordland. The bridge
will be 3.8km long. Wind, wave and tide-turbines will be built on the bridge making the bridge producing a whole
lot of renewable energy!

The bridge will be very useful for the 2 800 people living in the municipality of Bø in Vesterålen. A bridge here will
shorten the road from the town of Bø with 2 hours of driving.

So it's more a powerplant than a bridge. Nice combination.
