Our current Mayor, and God Bless her for this, has put an emphasis on our city roads, trying to make up for that. Since this has happened, more jobs have been created and better roads have been made for a lot better local economy. People have realizing this, and during this COVID-19 crisis, our people keep on voting yes for road bonds because they've seen the results. Last 10 years has been growing pains for construction, but instead of being 50 years behind, we're now more like 10 years behind. So worth the cost!

There's less to distract you while in a tube than there is on the open road, so less chance of crashing. They're also obviously going to make it water tight in the parts exposed to water, so you won't drown. It's deep under stone, which has been pressed solid by the pressure at that depth, and the tectonics that created those ridges in the first place, so the rock won't give way and collapse. And finally, it's a reinforced concrete tube, and it'd be meters thick. In theory, it's better than normal highways in every way.

The great thing about this project is that you don’t need to complete all the stages for it to greatly improve the E39. There will continue to be a ferry across Sognefjorden for a long time, but that doesn’t mean that most of the other crossings can’t get a fixed link. That said, it will be decades until the link from Stavanger to Bergen is finished, and that has the highest priority.

Many people point out that investing 47 Billion $ in Highways is a waste of money esp. for a country with merely 5.3 million inhabitants and only medium to small sized cities (small population density) . I would like to offer another view on the subject: 1) Norway is self reliant on funding these projects (no foreign loans, no debt money) - Thanks to Oil 2) They surely know that eventually their oil will run out in the future. So they are investing in a way that could benefit their economy by diversifying their resources and strengthening the connections of their major cities.- Trade and Commerce Needs Roads. 3) Because of Climate Change and Sea Ice Melting, the Arctic Sea Route Between Asia and Europe will increasingly be more accessible to Navigation and Shipping. So Norway's strategic location may play a crucial role in the not so distant future. By Having a Good and Modern Highway System accessing all Major Ports and facilities (Industry, Logistics, Fishing, Shipbuilding, Agriculture etc.) is vital for their Future. 4) Norway is Blessed by its Geographic location: Having no economic or military rivals neighboring only friendly countries like Sweden and Finland (and a very small border with not so friendly Russia way up north). It has a Huge Exclusive Economic Zone: The Norwegian Sea, Rich in Fisheries and oil and gas. So the Highway infrastructure is a Vital artery not only for them but neighboring countries and Western Europe as well. So in Conclusion : Well Done Norway ! Wishing you success in these projects! Love and Respect for your Beautiful Country from Greece !!

$47B seems a reasonable price tag. For 25 years here in New South Wales we've been building a 800km upgrade to dual carriageway which to date has cost $16B AUD with a "few billion" to go by 2020 (Pacific Highway Upgrade). Our geology is mountainous with many river crossings but nothing compared to this project. Also our cost to date is historical and does not include inflation. This Norwegian project is current and future cost, and likely to exceed the current estimate. The return on investment would be considerable, 21 hours down to (in my estimate) 8-10 hours depending on the speed limit. This would attract secondary investment in the towns and cities and attract more people to live in this country. Norway's economy will boom.

A a Norwegian myself I can say that this project is no less than pure insanity. Many of Norway's existing roads and railways are in a very poor state and in great need of improvement and maintenance, but the politicians can't seem to find the money to do it. How can they then find money for this? A lot of the cost is also supposed to be paid by road tolls. I fear the tolls will be so high that people and businesses will not afford to use the road. If it becomes reality, it will drain the countrys infrastructure budget for decades to come. The Existing portions of E39 is in great need for improvement so it would be better to use the money for that. Ferries are no great hindrance if they have frequent departures.Also, many of the construction methods proposed for this project are untested and chances are that they will encounter unforeseen difficulties, making it much more expensive than projected.

Politikerne vet ikke hvor de skal få pengene fra? Hva faen er ikke det veldig obvious? De melker penger ut av innbyggerne i landet gjennom bom-penger og skatt. Og ikke glem olje penger. Det å si at Norge ikke har råd er som å si at Japan er ikke i Asia. De kan bygge dette OG fikse veiene, og fortsatt mister landet så vidt noe penger fordi det kommer bare mer og mer inn hver eneste dag. Flere hundre tusen hver dag i bom penger bare på 1 vei. Problemet er politikerne fordi de klarer ikke å bli enige om noe som helst. Jeg jobber ikke med økonomi, så ikke heng meg, men jeg syns det er latterlig å høre at Norge ikke har råd.

+Hallvard Wie You are clearly an idiot. Not blaming you, I have seen many in this comment section. Fixing the old road is more expensive than building the new one. The old road is longer because it's less straight, and material costs would be higher. Wage cost goes back into circulation so that part is irrelevant. Time distance on the new road will be a fraction of the time distance on the old one, making it cheaper and more effective for people to use, saving time, gas, tear on vehicles, etc. It's not prestige, it's a new and cheaper way to build a road with current technology.

Been there last year and drove North from Kristiansand to Bergen along the shoreline and on to Trondheim through the Eastern mountains. It was a stunning experience and of course especially as a tourist, the bridges and ferries are the most memorable experience. I was amazed by the efficiency of the ferries and they are a nice break after you have been driving for some time, letting you focus even more on the lovely landscapes as opposed to sitting in the car whilst still moving. For tourists the tunnels are of course not the best experience, since you miss out on quite a bit of landscape on lands while already in the tunnel and despite many EVs there (driving one myself) the air is quite bad because of the steepness and therefore lots of exhaust gasses. Also for the most of the tunnels, there understandably is no more ferry service alongside. For the amount of people living there, especially north of Bergen, you certainly could argue if all that crazyness is really necessary. I mean in Trondheim they are even struggling to keep a regular tram line up and running because of too little usage.

The reason Norway can afford to build projects like - as well having free medicare and all kinds of other social services and supports for it's citizens is the country's oil revenues go into a special government run national trust fund...unlike in North America where the total oil revenues go to greedy private corporations, hedge funds and speculators!

It is not like this. The health insurance do not cover you evth.. For instance, if you get operated in Hospital, you must pay a 120.000- Nk bill from your own pocket.

I'm very satisfied that my tax money is going to an ambitious project for once. Norway is a nation of practically minded people, without too much ambition, (efficiency above all else). This is why we don't have sky-scrapers, (we might have one or two small ones in Oslo), because thinking in grand scales is far beyond the normal for the average Norwegian. This will be expensive, but it will improve the infrastructure-efficiency by an order of magnitude, which is cheaper than patch-work maintenance of existing infrastructure. (there's also plans for upgrading all main railways to high-speed-capable double tracks.

I've always thought that the Norwegians were a bit intimidated by the natural architecture around them and thus refrained from futile gestures trying to outdo the fjords and mountains. However, these plans are certainly ambitious enough to rival some of the fjords and mountains.

I don't agree with your sentiment. I agree with being practical (why build upwards when you have the room to build outwards?) - but the "grand scales" bit? Nah. Barcode, tunnellprosjekter, etisk statsinvestering - hva legger du egentlig i "grand scales"?

Bjørn V and why do you think that exactly? (Talking about the Rogfast part of it here) 1. It's not a political promise, it's a plan. A plan that Veivesenet (who are in charge of the Norwegian roads) have already started preperations for constructing. 2. The next election is in 2021, no one has started givng out promises like this yet. 3. How is it a good thing that this would not happen? Scared that water levels could somehow rise because of the large tunnel? 4. The idea of this project has been around since around 1990. Do you seriusly think someone planned this just to try and trick voters 30 years later?

Or somebody powerful is investing heavy in tunneling technology. Some variant of the last option might be more likely. This project ever being completed is certainly not.
