Rombaken (Norwegian) or Ruoppat (Northern Sami)[1] (or unofficially: Rombaksfjord) is a fjord that branches off of the main Ofotfjorden in Narvik Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. The fjord is about 20 kilometres (12 mi) long and is surrounded by steep mountains, and the town of Narvik lies on the south shore of the mouth of the fjord. The European route E06 and European route E10 highways run along the northern shores of the fjord. The fjord has two bridge crossings: the Hålogaland Bridge, completed in 2018, crosses at the mouth of the Rombaken fjord and the Rombak Bridge, which crosses at a narrow point about mid-way down the fjord.[2]
