Construction started in 1971, and it was officially opened by King Olav V on 11 July 1974, although the bridge was actually opened for traffic in December 1973. King Olav came to the opening by ship, returning from a visit to Iceland. The opening of the bridge had to be postponed for a day because the Royal Yacht got delayed by bad weather while at sea.[2] The Måløy Bridge was the longest bridge in Norway at the time of its opening. It cost 32 million kr to construct and was a toll bridge until 1984. The bridge is built to stand wind up to 75 metres per second (170 mph), however vehicles can't stand anything near that. There are boards on each side of the bridge showing the amount of wind, and the bridge has been closed several times because of strong winds.
