Ås is a municipality in southern Norway that is approximately 16 miles south of Oslo, the capital of Norway. In a partnership between artist Vebjørn Sand and the Norweigan Public Roads Association, the former pedestrian bridge over Highway E18 in Ås was replaced with Sand’s design, modelled after da Vinci’s sketches. The da Vinci bridge is limited to pedestrians and connects Norway to Sweden.
