Stavanger City Bridge (Stavanger bybru) is a cable-stayed bridge opened in early 1978. Connecting the city over the Straumsteinsundet strait.


The bridge has a high volume of travellers crossing it every day. This has led to the construction of the new Hundvåg Tunnel, which will connect the mainland city of Stavanger with the islands of Buøy and Hundvåg. The new tunnel will relieve quite a bit of this traffic when it opens in 2019. The tunnel will run under the strait, immediately west of the bridge.
