1. Have a look at the illustration in
http://www.vareveger.no/nyheter/2012/09/09/klart-for-sydhavn...
where you can see the structure going over the railway.

Explanation of term
This is a tricky one. I don't know if it helps, but here's a definition that might point you in the right direction:
Hovedprinsipp – Det er lagt til grunn at utvidelse av Buvikveien gjennomføres ved å benytte en
såkalt halvbru kombinert med støttemur nærmest brua til Holmen. Med halvbru menes at man i
stedet for å fylle utover i sjøen etablerer en frittbærende konstruksjon som spenner fra bæreakse inn
på eksisterende vegg ut til bæreakse i sjøen.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Brigid, sounds like some form kind of cantilever structure. I have a few days before I have to deliver, so I might get some more assistance Monday. |

: You may be on the right track here. Prestesæter defines 'cantilever bridge' as 'utliggerbro, fritt frembygd bro'.
