Aspøya is an artificial island in Tingvoll Municipality in Møre og Romsdal county, Norway. It is located between the Freifjorden and the Tingvollfjorden. The European route E39 highway crosses Aspøya and connects it to the nearby island of Bergsøya to the west by the Bergsøysund Bridge–part of the Krifast bridge and tunnel system which connects the town of Kristansund to the mainland. To the east, the E39 highway connects it to the Straumsnes peninsula in Tingvoll.

The highest point on the 20-square-kilometre (7.7 sq mi) island is the 372-metre (1,220 ft) mountain Vettafjellet. The artificial island was once a peninsula that was connected to the mainland by the narrow, 150-metre (490 ft) wide Nålsundeidet isthmus. In 1905, the isthmus was excavated to provide an 8-metre (26 ft) wide canal through which boats can travel. The completion of the canal, therefore, made Aspøya into an island.[1]

[de] Aspøy (Tingvoll)
Aspøy (norwegisch Aspøya) ist eine Insel südlich von Kristiansund in der norwegischen Fylke Møre og Romsdal. Bis 1905 war Aspøy eine Halbinsel, im Nordosten durch den etwa 150 m breiten Isthmus Nålsund mit der Halbinsel Straumsnes verbunden; erst der dann für Fischerboote und andere kleine Schiffe durch den Isthmus gegrabene etwa 8 m breite Kanal machte Aspøy zur Insel. Verwaltungstechnisch ist Aspøy Teil der Gemeinde Tingvoll.- [en] Aspøya
