Tretten Bridge was a road bridge in Tretten, Øyer, Norway, that carried county road 254 over Gudbrandsdalen and the E6 road. The bridge was a truss bridge in glulam and steel and was opened on 15 June 2012. It collapsed on the morning of 15 August 2022, after only ten years and two months in operation.[1]

Permission was given for a temporary replacement bridge in October 2022, on the condition that work above the waterline is finished before the spring flood in April 2023.[2]
