Dagens bro over K\u00e1r\u00e1\u0161johka<\/span> var ferdig bygd i 1952, \u00e5tte \u00e5r etter at en lignende bro, bygd p\u00e5 samme sted under krigen, ble sprengt da de tyske styrkene ble trukket ut av kampomr\u00e5dene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Veiarbeidet mellom Lakselv og Karasjok startet p\u00e5 begynnelsen av 1920-\u00e5rene. I 1934 var det gjennomslag, og den f\u00f8rste bussforbindelse til Hammerfest ble \u00e5pnet. Tidligere hadde omr\u00e5det sendt sine produkter og hentet inn n\u00f8dvendige varer med lange raider med rein og pulk, og senere med hest og slede.<\/p>\n

Veien var bare farbar i sommerhalv\u00e5ret, helt fram til 1950-tallet.<\/p>\n

For \u00e5 komme over elva i Karasjok ble det inntil krigen brukt elveb\u00e5ter eller en st\u00f8rre pram. N\u00e5r isen begynte \u00e5 legge seg om h\u00f8sten, eller ved isl\u00f8sningen om v\u00e5ren, var passeringen vanskelig. Under krigen ble en provisorisk trebru bygd, men den m\u00e5tte tas bort f\u00f8r isen la seg eller ved stor flom.<\/p>\n

I 1942 var veien til Karigasniemi ferdig, med bro over Anarjohka. Veien ble bygd ved at krigsfanger og tyske desert\u00f8rer (milit\u00e6rnektere) ble satt i tvangsarbeid. P\u00e5 finsk side var veien bygd ferdig fra Ivalo til Karigasniemi, og dermed kunne tyskerne slippe \u00e5 frakte soldater og forsyninger til frontene over det farlige \u00d8sthavet. De kunne bruke havnene i Porsanger og veien til Ivalo, og derfra til Litza-fronten og andre tyske fronter i det nordvestlige Russland. Det kunne v\u00e6re kolonner p\u00e5 30 og 40 lastebiler som brakte folk og forsyninger til frontene. P\u00e5 tilbaketuren kunne de ta med seg s\u00e5rede soldater som ble plassert p\u00e5 lasarett i Karasjok, Skoganvarre eller sykehus andre steder.<\/p>\n

P\u00e5 samme sted der hvor dagens hengebro st\u00e5r, ble en lignende hengebro bygd over K\u00e1r\u00e1\u0161johka<\/span>. Samtidig ble den st\u00f8rre hengebroa over Tana reist. Da den tyske tilbaketrekningen startet fra frontene i \u00f8st i oktober 1944, ble ordren om tvangsevakueringen av befolkningen og bruk av den brente jords taktikk gitt den 28. oktober.<\/p>\n

Alt ble brent sentralt i Karasjok og de n\u00e6rmeste bygdene, og alle tyske anlegg ble \u00f8delagt. Den st\u00f8rste delen av befolkningen trosset ordren og gj\u00f8mte seg p\u00e5 vidda eller i dalene. Den 6. november ble b\u00e5de Tana og Karasjok broer sprengt av tyskerne. Omr\u00e5dene \u00f8st og s\u00f8r for broene var dermed de f\u00f8rste omr\u00e5dene i v\u00e5rt land som var frigitt.<\/p>\n

Ogs\u00e5 etter krigen ble provisoriske broer bygd for sommertrafikken. I 1952 ble en slik bro tatt av flommen i elva, etter et langvarig regnv\u00e6r. Da var det betryggende at den nye broa sto ferdig samme \u00e5ret.<\/p>\n

Broa er 126 meter lang, og hovedspennet er p\u00e5 100 meter. H\u00f8yden over elva er p\u00e5 omkring 10 meter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Karasjok Bridge<\/span><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Today\u2019s bridge over the Karasjohka was completed in 1952, eight years after a similar bridge, built in the same place during the war, was blown up when the German forces retreated from the battlefields.<\/span><\/p>\n

Road-building between Lakselv and Karasjok started in the early 1920s. The breakthrough came in 1934 and the first bus service to Hammerfest started up. Previously, the area had sent its produce and collected essential goods upon long lines of reindeer-drawn sleighs, and later, horse-drawn sleighs. The carriageway was only passable in the summer, right up to the 1950s.<\/p>\n

Until the war, riverboats and a large barge were used in Karasjok to get across the river. The passage was difficult when the ice began to settle in the autumn or when it started to break up in the spring. During the war a provisional wooden bridge was built, but it had to be removed before the ice settled and during heavy floods.<\/p>\n

The road to Karigasniemi was completed in 1942 with a bridge over the Anarjohka. The road was built by prisoners of war and German deserters (conscientious objectors), who were put into forced labour. On the Finnish side, the road was completed from Ivalo to Karigasniemi, thus allowing the Germans to avoid transporting soldiers and supplies to the front over the hazardous Baltic Sea. They could use the ports of Porsanger and the road to Ivalo, and drive to the German front in northwestern Russia. There could be columns of 30 to 40 trucks taking people and supplies to the front. They could bring wounded soldiers back on their return and place them in field hospitals in Karasjok and Skoganvarre or in hospitals elsewhere.<\/p>\n

A suspension bridge similar to the one in the same place today was built over the Karasjohka. At the same time, the larger suspension bridge across the Tana was erected. When the German withdrawal from the Eastern Front began in October 1944, the order was given on 28 October for the forced evacuation of the population and the use of scorched-earth tactics.<\/p>\n

Everything in central Karasjok and the surrounding area was burned, and all German facilities were destroyed. The majority of the population defied the order and went into hiding on the plains or in the valleys. On 6 November, both the Tana and Karasjok bridges were blown up by the Germans. The areas east and south of the bridges were therefore the first parts of our country to be liberated.<\/p>\n

Following the war, a temporary bridge was built for summer traffic. A similar bridge was washed away by a flood in 1952 after a prolonged spell of rain, but the new bridge was fortunately completed in the same year.<\/p>\n

The bridge is 126 metres long and the main arch has a span of 100 metres. The height above the river is about 10 meters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
