It cost 176 million kroner. The decision to spend such an amount of money on a bridge to a place with less than 150 inhabitants was disputed. However, Sundoya did not get connected to the mainland when the rest of Alsten did, following the opening of Helgeland Bridge in 1991. This was because mountains separated the two sides of the island with regard to the island's roads. Consequently the people at Sundoya thought it was only fair that they got their connection as well.
