The Beisfjord Bridge (Norwegian: Beisfjordbrua) is a girder bridge in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The concrete bridge crosses the Beisfjorden on the west side of the town of Narvik. The 375-metre-long (1,230 ft) bridge connects Ankenesstranda, a residential area on the west side of Narvik, southwest of the fjord, to Fagernes, a neighborhood on the outskirts of Narvik. Most of the population is on the northeastern side. The bridge carries the European route E6 highway and it was completed in 1959.
