Atlanterhavstunnelen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlanterhavstunnelen (Norwegian name) or the Atlantic Ocean tunnel, is a road tunnel that is under construction in Norway. It is located southwest of Kristiansund in Møre og Romsdal county, and it will be 5 735 meters long and 250 meters deep, one of absolutely deepest undersea tunnels in the world. The contruction was started in 2006 and it will be opened in 2008. The name comes from the fact that it will connect two islands located directly at the open sea, and that it will extend the Atlanterhavsveien road, a popular tourist attraction. The Atlanterhavsveien road goes over small islands with both open sea view, fjord view and view over mountains.
