Frierfjord

Frierfjord

Frierfjorden is a fjord in the Grenland traditional district in the county of Telemark, Norway. It stretches from Brevik in until the mouth of the Porsgrunn river (in Norwegian "Porsgrunnselva"). At the fjord mouth, Breviksstrømmen, it is about 300 m across and is crossed by the Brevik bridge (in Norwegian "Breviksbrua"). Somewhat further in a new bridge, the Grenland bridge (in Norwegian "Grenlandsbrua") also crosses the fjord, carrying (E18) across Norway's highest cable stayed bridge.

Frierfjord has a great deal of commercial ship traffic, including to Rafsnes in Bamble, Norsk Hydro in Porsgrunn and Norske Skog Union in Skien.

The name "Frier" comes originally from the old Norse and means beautiful.
