The Bruravik–Brimnes Ferry was a Norwegian ferry connection across the Hardanger Fjord between Bruravik in the municipality of Ulvik and Brimnes in the municipality of Eidfjord.[1][2] The ferry connected Norwegian County Road 7 and Norwegian National Road 13, and before it was discontinued it was operated by the company Fjord1 and served by MF Sogn with up to three departures per hour. The crossing lasted about 12 minutes. In the summer of 2013 the route was also served by MF Sognefjord.

Historyedit
The route was served by HSD (later Tide Sjø) from its opening in 1934 until 2011. In 2011, Fjord 1 won a tender and took over the ferry route. In 2013 the ferry connection was replaced by the Hardanger Bridge, which opened on August 17 that year.[3]
From the 1930s onward, road construction in the inner Hardanger Fjord progressively reduced the distance covered by the ferry:
