Halsafjord

Halsafjord or Halsafjorden (English: Halsa Fjord)^[1][2] is a fjord located between Heim Municipality (in Trøndelag county) and Tingvoll Municipality (in Møre og Romsdal county), Norway. The 15-kilometre (9.3 mi) long fjord branches south off the Vinjefjorden and stretches about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) until it becomes the Trongfjorden off which the Surnadalsfjord later branches.^[3]

The European route E39 highway crosses the fjord by a car ferry from Kanestraum in Tingvoll to Halsanaustan in Heim. Investigations are made regarding a bridge over the fjord. The length would be around 2–3 kilometres (1.2–1.9 mi). Since the depth is around 490 metres (1,610 ft), an advanced solution with a floating tower in the middle has been suggested.^[4]
