Statens vegvesen - Coastal Highway Route E39 crossing the Sognefjord (Animation)

Norwegian Public Roads Administration - Coastal Highway Route E39
How can we cross the Sognefjord?
Today: Coastal Highway Route E39 from Kristiansand in the south to Trondheim in central Norway is a distance of almost 1100 km. There are eight ferry connections along the route.
In the future: A more efficient corridor with no ferry connection along the coast from Kristiansand to Trondheim.

Just visited Norway earlier this year. Norwegian civil engineering is quite literally second to none in the western world, unlike here in the US, where the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge in 1964 was our last true great civil engineering project

[@Thegobstopper61]

Norway a country that used its oil money correctly where as the London Goverment wasted the oil money.

[@wellcraft19]

Just a a correction, but the longest floating bridge in the world is the Evergreen Point floating bridge in the Seattle area. 2,350 m. A complex megaproject, but with none of the additional complexities of crossing the beautiful Sognefjord.

[@williamaperrow636]

A technological marvel. "Go Norway".

[@Adrenaline_chaser]

I prefer the "Cable-Stayed Bridge" at 6:27 because it's straight 🤣😅

[@burger9997]

Excactly, it's been tried and tested in conditions in the north sea

[@usmale4915]

@@burger9997 If it's "tried and trued", so to speak, then that's the bridge they should use. And it's also a very beautiful structure!

Way to go Norway

[@angelaperez1462]

Maravilla de contruzcion

[@macforme]

Norway! My vote is for the Y- Solution. It is the most aesthetically pleasing choice. Start ASAP, ok?

[@makaveliis]

Good luck Norway!

[@NorthSea_1981]

Amazing. I pretty much favour the regular suspension bridge...this is possible today with the precise engineering and the high-quality materials available. The floating pontoon bridge or the underwater tube tunnels...no way...

[@finnzetterstroem1030]

Dear Omonikamon the programmes used here is beside of AutoCAD and 3DSMax the Norwegian high end civil engineering software Novapoint and Novapoint Virtual Map. This of course beside of a lot of experience in use and maiking such models and movies by Norwegian Public Roads administration, the movoe producer Baezeni Co. Ltd. and the engineering companies Vianova and Dr. Eng. A.Aas Jakobsen

[@johannessaupp611]

Just go for it 🇧🇻👍👍. Prefere the 3700 m Suspension Bridge 😎

[@angelaperez1462]

Ke maravilla inpresionante

[@yukonarctica8000]

If the floating pontons can also be submerged deep enough, would they be free from vertical motion of waves? Is the water current in the deep stable enough? Just like how you tackle wind in the air.

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

The pontoons second as protection to the pillars. A better choice would be a submerged tunnel, 30 meters below sea level and protected from whether which there is a lot of in this area. The price would be about equal as bridges are €16000/meter and tunnels €12000. A tunnel needs to be about 1600 meters longer to achieve

Một đẳng cấp thật sự lớn.

[@vvvortic]

someone needs to build a bridge from bronze to challenjour for people like me, gg

[@omonikamom]

Great ideas! Maybe someone knows which programmes where used to create it?

[@colemcgrath644]

Why don't we just take away the water, and push it somewhere else?! Kappa

[@shkico4513]

yea, like launch it to Mars

[@messerschmittbolkow5606]

Man Elon you are everywhere.

[@odin-legosydhagen9113]

We need the beatiful fjords and ferrys

[@Youtube_Stole_My_Handle_Too]

Good idea. We just fill the gap with rocks and if there is anything Norway got enough of it's just that. As a bonus they get a Salt Lake - without a city.

[@x1achilles99]

I wouldn't drive across any of those proposals. Ferry boat for me, thank you. Anyway, if Norway provided a high speed ferry departing every 60 seconds in each direction, it would still be a fraction of the cost for one of these wacky fixed floating bridge tunnel options.

[@vilestine]

I wonder how these videos go viral.. One guy is browsing youtube, sees some cool shit and posts it somewhere. Then other people agree on the thing being cool and upvote?

[@zooplanton]

Unless you build artificial icebergs as pontons of suspension towers. Only icebergs are rigid enough.

[@hoangkybactien7207]

All of the options presented in the video are expensive, difficult, and will not last very long. An easier, cheaper, and long lasting bridge would be: A large and wide pontoon bridge extending out from the shores, with a floating section of 300m underwater tube to provide a passage for ships. Think about it.

Hi Reddit

hi 4chan

[@yukonarctica8000]

Unless you build artificial icebergs, you won't succeed. Only icebergs are rigid enough in roaring waves.

[@gullf1sk]

fuck this shit, the toll road prices would make it too expensive to use on a regular basis.

[@dulat]

Remember it's Norway, not America.

[@gullf1sk]

I know, i live in Norway and i know how much the state loves toll roads

[@dulat]

I see.

[@Chris94NOR]

I agree with you gullf1sk. The tolls here are too expensive. The toll cost on the Hålogalandsbrua project in Narvik will be very expensive. 100NOK for cars and 300NOK for heavy vehicles. I live in Bodø, and i know how that is, with that scumbag toll ring we have. However, i don't own a car so i am using public transport, but i am more afraid the public transport fee is gonna be too damn high in the near future.

[@areolsen694]

but if the bridge is a success the prices will drop down fast and good cause if many people drive over on a daily basis the price will drop down so more people will drive over so it can be a great success

[@gordonbricker1670]

What a waste of money.

[@eckpolmick5080]

Total waste of money

[@yn7751]

What so the 'refugee' economic migrants can come over here easier? No thanks.

[@sander6931]

...how have you managed to draw a connection between a bridge / tunnel and refugees?

[@yn7751]

Pretty obvious. The lefty government desperately wants to flood Norway with these illegals so in order to avoid backlash they're getting private companies to build bridges so they can bring them in undetected

[@sander6931]

Oh you mean this domestic bridge?

[@Carlium]

+y n, but this is a public owned company and bridge... And it doesn't even border any country, look up the place before you comment.

[@williamaperrow636]

Way off topic!
