The Nygård Bridge (Norwegian: Nygårdsbroen) is a bridge in Bergen Municipality, Vestland county, Norway. The bridge consists of a series of parallel bridges that cross the Strømmen, the sound entering the Store Lungegårdsvannet bay just southeast of the centre of the city of Bergen. The original Old Nygård Bridge was constructed in 1854 and carries the two tracks of the Bergen Light Rail as well as pedestrians and cyclists. The New Nygård Bridge opened in 1978, and carries six lanes of European Route E39. The New Nygård Bridge II, built in 2008, carries the two lanes of Nygårdsgaten street.
