Ölfusárbrú - suspension bridge

Ölfusárbrú is a suspension bridge over the Ölfusá River that was first built in 1891 and became the largest bridge in Iceland at the time. In September 1944, when the bridge had been in use for 53 years, the eastern bearing cables broke due to the weight of two trucks. A new suspension bridge was built in 1945, which only took five and a half months, but while it was being constructed, the old bridge had been fixed for temporary use. The bridge is 84 meters long and is in the town of Selfoss.
