(IIRC the Lions Gate Bridge was a little too low such that they had to ship in new container cranes with their tops folded down.)

The display boards say both bridges would need to have 60+m clearance over the water.
That Hardanger bridge is 55m according to wikipedia. I think the length of the bridge (being longer than Golden Gate) makes it look deceptively low.
Golden Gate has apparently 67.1m clearance at high tide.
