River Otra, Norway

Christian Quartbroa (also known as Quartbroa and Quartbrua) is a steel box bridge and footbridge in Kristiansand. The bridge runs from Rådhusgata in Kvadraturen, over the river Otra to the island of Kjøita in the district of Lund. Footpaths and cycle paths lead over several smaller footbridges to the eastern bank of the river. Christian Quartbroa was opened by mayor Jan Oddvar Skisland on 17 December 2020, as the third bridge connection near the center over Otra in Kristiansand. The bridge is named after the city's founder, King Christian IV of Denmark and Norway, also called Christian Quart. Approximately 200 tonnes of steel have been used for the bridge, which has six spans. The steel work on the bridge itself was carried out in Romania, before the bridge elements were placed on pillars in the river. The railing on the bridge contains lighting.
