A road bridge has existed on the same location, at the outflux of the river Lysakerelva into Lysakerfjorden, for several hundred years. Lysaker became a traffic hub between the capital Oslo and its western surroundings after the Kongsberg Silver Mines were opened in 1624. In 1716, during the Great Northern War, it was the site of a Dano-Norwegian bombardment of Swedish troops who tried to cross the bridge.
A modern road was finished in 1859. In 1872 the Drammen Line railroad was constructed, creating its own bridge at the same location.
