位於挪威西部海上，長度約8.7公里的亞特蘭大之路（Atlantic Ocean Road），不僅是連接當地兩個重要的城鎮Kristiansund 及Molde的重要橋樑，其蜿蜒的曲線造型也串連起了各島嶼，鳥瞰時亞特蘭大之路就像是在海上盤旋的一條龍，獨特的造型更讓它獲得了挪威的年度建築獎。

由挪威建築師Beate Holmebakk在亞特蘭大之路上所設計的Myrbaerholmbura橋為最著名的景點之一。這是一座特別設計用來釣魚的橋，不但是當地最佳的約魚地點，在設計上也相當重視安全性的考量。懸臂式的行人步道提供了釣客及遊客在觀賞亞特蘭大海景時的安全性，在橋樑的規劃上也有著為行動不便人士所特別設計的釣魚用空間。

為了讓釣客能有個安全又舒適的釣魚場所，建築師在原有橋樑的行車路線兩旁外加設計了二條可隨意進出的行人走道，而位於鋼製懸臂樑上的行人走道也能避免在橋樑損毀時遭受損壞。

In fierce competion with world renowned attractions such as Northern Ireland's Antrim Coast Road, the Himalaya stretch between Manali and Leh and Australia's Gibb River Road, the Atlantic Road, on the west coast of Norway, comes first on the list.
Chosen as "Norway's construction of the century" in 2005, the 8.72-kilometre long road links together small coastal communities.

From the town of Kristiansund, the Atlantic Road is only a 30-minute drive through the Atlantic Tunnel. After passing through the tunnel, you drive across the exciting island of Averøy with Kvernes Stave Church, the very scenic west side of the island, and the incredible coastline out towards Hustadvika.

The Atlantic Road was opened in 1989 and is now toll-free.

The Atlantic Road zigzags across low bridges that jut out over the sea, linking the islands between Molde (famous for its annual jazz festival in July) and Kristiansund in the western fjords. The Hustadvika is an infamous stretch of ocean and when in storm it's fantastically dramatic. In calmer weather you might spot whales and seals, writes The Guardian (25 April, 2006).

Birds and bridges

Even though whales are a less common sight, you will have the opportunity to enjoy the view of the Atlantic Ocean, a rich bird life and even spot seals.

The impressive road skips nimbly from island to island, across eight bridges. The tallest bridge, Storseisundet Bridge, has a dramatic and beautiful curve and almost brings a perspective of art into the technique of building bridges.

Go fishing and diving

Guided fishing, diving trips and sea safari trips are being arranged on a daily basis through the summer from our centre. Diving in these waters are very good. The clean water and powerful tidal currents make diving here very attractive.

The site is a very good fishing spot and people fishing from the road represented a safety problem. The cantilevered walkways provide secure ground for both fishers and tourist enjoying the view over the Atlantic Ocean. The railings of the bridge are designed to improve fishing for the disabled.

To make the road bridge safe for people taking advantage of the excellent fishing, two pedestrian bridges were added to the side of the existing bridge structure. The new bridges are attached to the existing as prefabricated steel cantilevers, structurally separate to allow separate landing points and to avoid damage in the event of a road bridge collision. The bridges are universally accessible.
