The Varodd Bridges are two parallel cantilever bridges in Kristiansand Municipality in Agder county, Norway. They cross the Topdalsfjorden on the northeast side of the city of Kristiansand. They are named after the peninsula on the western shore. The bridges carry the European route E18 highway over the fjord from Vige on the northwest end of the bridge to Søm on the southeast end of the bridge.
