Skjeggestad Bridge (Norwegian: Skjeggestadbrua) is the name of two parallel highway bridges on European route E18 in Holmestrand municipality, Vestfold, Norway.
On 2 February 2015 the bridge partially collapsed. No one was injured. The bridge will remain closed for a considerable period of time. The reason for the collapse was a landslide in the quick clay surrounding a support pillar.[1]
The affected lane was fully destroyed in a controlled explosive demolition on 21 February 2015. It is currently under reconstruction, and will be finished before the summer of 2016.
