Sommarøybrua has only one lane and is therefore equipped with traffic lights to regulate the direction of traffic. But it was reported in 2004 that the traffic lights do not work properly when it is windy, which happens relatively often.

N/A

"Tirpitz" and its sister ship "Bismarck" were the largest battleships in the German navy, Kriegsmarine, during the Second World War. The ship was named after the German Minister of the Navy and Grand Admiral Alfred Freiherr von Tirpitz. The ship was stationed in Norway from 1942, and after several Allied attacks was finally sunk at Tromsø in 1944. Because the ship was not in ordinary operation at that time but functioned as an anchored, floating artillery, the crew was reduced; of this, a total of 916 people died, slightly more than half of the crew on board.
