The Ypsilon Bridge is a
cable-stayed bridge over
Drammenselva in
Drammen, located in
Viken in Norway.
The pedestrian bridge connects
Kunnskapsparken, the science park of Grønland in Drammen with the city park on
Bragernes. The bridge was designed by the firm of Arne Eggen Architects. The
three-way bridge has been given the name "
Ypsilon" due to its special form – from the air it looks like a ''
Y'', with one abutment on the Strømsø side and two at the Bragernes side. The project was co-funded by the municipality of Drammen and Kunnskapsparken AS. Kunnskapsparken accommodates the
University of South-Eastern Norway with its campus Drammen, the public library of Drammen, and the Viken Regional Library.
