    Finna Bridge at Stampesletta stays closed pending further investigation

    • Finna Bridge at Stampesletta is still closed to everyone. It was closed in June 2026 because there were doubts about how much weight it can carry. It will take time before it might reopen, because many things must be considered.
    • The closure followed a check by outside inspectors this summer. They found that part of the load-bearing structure (the parts that hold the bridge up) has shifted. This needs closer study. The bridge was closed straight away. The municipality inspects its bridges every year.
