Bjarkøy
Bjarkøy is a former municipality in Troms county, Norway. The municipality was merged with the municipality of Harstad on 1 January 2013. The administrative centre of the municipality was the village of Nergården. The municipality was spread across several smaller islands, the biggest being the northern side of Grytøya. The island of Bjarkøya was home to the municipality's biggest village, Nergården.
The Bjarkøy Fixed Link project is a proposed bridge and undersea road tunnel that will connect the three main islands of the former municipality of Bjarkøy. This project was one of the factors in the municipality merging with Harstad.
