Bøkfjord Bridge (Norwegian: Bøkfjordbrua) is a road bridge which crosses Paatsjoki river at its mouth into Bøkfjord, in Sør-Varanger municipality in Troms og Finnmark, Norway.
The main bridge was built in parts in Nordhausen, Germany, assembled in Wilhelmshaven, Germany and transported by boat to the place.[2] It was put into place on May 20, 2017.[3] It was opened for traffic on 28 September 2017, inaugurated by the minister of transport Ketil Solvik-Olsen (Norway) and vice minister of transport Sergey Aristov (Russia), who also marked the opening of other new roads on E105 between Kirkenes and Zapolyarny.[1] It replaces the old, low and narrow Elvenes Bridge.[4]
