Finneidfjord[3] is a small village in Hemnes Municipality in Nordland county, Norway. It is located on a small isthmus, about halfway between the villages of Hemnesberget and Bjerka. The European route E6 highway and the Nordland Line pass through the village.[4]
The 0.66-square-kilometre (160-acre) village had a population (2012) of 405 and a population density of 614 inhabitants per square kilometre (1,590/sq mi). Since 2012, the population and area data for this village area has not been separately tracked by Statistics Norway.[1]
In 2024, on October 24th, a passenger-train-derailment happened near the village. The probably cause was a sudden rock slide, which hit the train and blocked the rails. [5]
