The Sami Bridge crosses the Tana River on the border between Finnmark in Norway and Utsjoki in Finland. It carries European route E75. SuunnitteluKortes designed it, and it opened in 1993. The article does not name a client or give construction dates. The Finnish Transport Agency and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration maintain it.
It is a cable-stayed bridge. The total length is 1,037 feet (316 meters), the width is 39 feet (12 meters), and the longest of its four spans is 509 feet (155 meters). The article does not give its materials or heights.
Before the bridge opened, a summer ferry and a winter ice road served the crossing. The bridge now carries traffic across the border all year.
