The Sundøy Bridge was opened on 9 August 2003. It was designed by Jan-Eirik Nilsskog. The bridge cost Template:NOK.[3] The decision to spend such an amount of money on a bridge to a place with less than 150 inhabitants was disputed. However, Sundøya did not get connected to the mainland when the rest of Alsta did, following the opening of the Helgeland Bridge in 1991. This was because Seven Sisters mountains separate the two sides of the island with no roads crossing them. Consequently, the people at Sundøya thought it was only fair that they got their connection as well.
