The bridge consists of three sections, a cable-stayed bridge, a pontoon bridge and a viaduct which connects the two. The cable-stayed bridge consists of a tall H-pylon with a foundation at Klauvaneset on the mainland of Bergen. It supports a main span, with the other end being fixed in a foundation below mean sea level, which is anchored in the ridge Klauvaskallen. The whole cable-stayed bridge is long, with a long viaduct, supported by six pairs of pillars. The cable-stayed bridge allows for a sailing channel which is tall and wide. The main span is built in lightweight LC55 concrete, while the viaduct and pylon is built with conventional C45 concrete. Inside the pylons is a hollow area.
