Nærøysundet is a strait in the municipalities of Nærøysund in Trøndelag county, Norway. The village of Rørvik, is located along the Nærøysundet, on the northwestern side. The 20-kilometre (12 mi) strait is crossed by the Nærøysund Bridge which connects the mainland and the island of Inner-Vikna. The shipping lane along the Norwegian coast passes through the strait, and the ship traffic is guided by the Nærøysund Lighthouse.[1][2][3]
