The Sognefjord Spans are the second, third, and fourth longest spans in the world situated east of Hermansverk, Norway and are part of different powerlines. As Sognefjord Span is a deep valley the pylons of these spans are not taller than ordinary pylons. In order to avoid any too close approaches or contacts between the conductors, each is mounted on a separate pylon at the end of the span, which is built as a steel framework tower.

Span 1

This span is part of the powerline between Hermansverk 61.18028°N, 6.86472°W and Vikøyri 61.08056°N, 6.58694°W and was built in the 1950s. It has a length of 4850 metres and was until the inauguration of Ameralik Span the longest span in the world. The span, which crosses Sognefjord in North-South direction, has 4 conductors, whereby one is for reserve. Its northern ends are at 61.175°N, 6.90389°W 61.17472°N, 6.90444°W 61.17472°N, 6.90528°W 61.17417°N, 6.90583°W and its southern ends are at 61.13917°N, 6.85361°W 61.13889°N, 6.85472°W 61.13861°N, 6.855°W 61.13778°N, 6.855°W.

Span 2

Just a few hundred meters east of Span 1, the powerline between Sogndal 61.21833°N, 7.02222°W and Hove 61.07°N, 6.59528°W substations crosses Sognefjord with a 4520 meters long spanning East-West direction. As Span 1 it has 4 conductors, whereby 1 is as reserve. The locations of the towers used for this span are at its western end: 61.13556°N, 6.86028°W 61.13528°N, 6.86056°W 61.13472°N, 6.86083°W 61.13444°N, 6.86111°W and at its eastern end: 61.14111°N, 6.94417°W 61.14083°N, 6.94417°W 61.14028°N, 6.94333°W 61.14°N, 6.94333°W

Span 3

Approximately 9 kilometres east-south east of these spans, there crosses the line from Aurland1 60.86278°N, 7.30111°W to Langedøla 61.43722°N, 7.24556°W Sognefjord in a span with a length of 4500 metres in North-South direction. It has no reserve conductor and consists therefore of 3 ropes. Its towers are situated at its southern end at 61.10528°N, 7.06472°W 61.10556°N, 7.06528°W 61.10583°N, 7.06611°W and at its north end at 61.14583°N, 7.04889°W 61.14583°N, 7.04972°W 61.14611°N, 7.05056°W.
