Mjøsa is Norway's largest lake, as well as one of the deepest lakes in Norway and in Europe. It is the fourth-deepest lake in Norway. It is located in the southern part of Norway, about north of the city of Oslo. Its main tributary is the river Gudbrandsdalslågen flowing in from the north; the only distributary is the river Vorma in the south. Inflows would theoretically need 5.6 years to fill the lake. With an average depth of about , most of the lake's volume is under sea level. The average outflow of the lake (measured from 1931–1982) is which is about . Mjøsa contains about of water compared to the in the lake Røssvatnet, the second largest lake by volume in Norway. With a surface elevation of about , the depth of Mjøsa means that the deepest part of the basin is located approximately below sea level. This is lower than the deepest point of the sea inlet of Kattegat and the lower than the vast majority of Skagerrak off Norway's south coast. Mjøsa retains a larger ...

The bridge is long, the longest span is , and the clearance to the water below is . The bridge has 21 spans and one vehicular lane in each direction. The Mjøsa Bridge was opened in 1985. The government is currently planning to replace the bridge with a new four-lane bridge over the lake as part of an expansion of the E6 highway around Moelv. Work (or construction) on the (new, wooden) bridge has been paused as of Q3 2022, as a consequence of the 2022 collapse of the Tretten Bridge in Norway.
