This contribution presents the open-access sharing of comprehensive data sets derived from bridge monitoring projects in Norway. Through these open-access repository initiatives, we aim to encourage collaborative efforts among researchers and provide a verification basis for techniques in experimental or operational modal analysis, structural health monitoring, damage detection, model updating, virtual sensing, machine learning approaches, and other data-driven approaches in structural dynamics. The data sets featured in this open access initiative include long-span bridges in operation on the road network, focusing on dynamic responses to environmental loading (wind/waves) and monitoring of ageing steel railway bridges, where fatigue damage is a concern. The repositories contain time series for acceleration and strain responses, temperatures, wind velocities, and wave elevations. A central aspect of our exposition is the well-documented detailing of the data, tests, sensor locations and specifications, units, reference systems, and other metadata information.
