More than 17,000 bridges connect the road network throughout Norway. Using public information laws, VG gained access to 90,000 PDF-pages of inspection data and made the first publicly available national database of bridge safety. The analysis showed that rules of inspections were broken for more than half of the bridges. The past decade, insufficient bridge railings have been a decisive factor in 37 fatal accidents. The journalists used big data analysis and travelled across the country visiting 104 bridges in 15 counties. The project has won several prices for investigative journalism and innovation in storytelling.
