About Vaterland Bridge

Vaterland Bridge (Vaterlands bru) crosses the Aker River (Akerselva) in the centre of Oslo. It carries the street Brugata and links the neighbourhoods of Vaterland and Grønland. The bridge was first built in 1654 and rebuilt in the 1830s. Until Nybrua was built in 1827, Vaterland Bridge was the main entrance to the city from the north and east.
