The deck sections were produced by HBG in Schiedam, Netherlands, and transported by Barge to Stord. Each section is long and consisted of two welded subsections. They were mounted using the crane ship "Uglen", allowing up to nine and an average of four sections to be installed per day and completed in June 2000. The section of the bridge built as a beam bridge on the Føyno side was built by filling in the shallow fjord under the bridge with earthwork, building the bridge and then removing the earthwork again. Construction took 700,000 man-hours and cost NOK 442 million. The bridge was taken into use along with the Bømlafjord Tunnel on 27 December 2000. The bridge allowed, along with the rest of the Triangle Link, four ferry services to terminate.
