Kjeåsen

Kjeåsen
This old farm probably have the worlds most expensive driveway. From the bottom of the valley you drive up a steep road with a lot of curves. Then you drive into a 2,6 km long tunnel with no lights and only one lane. The foot path to the farm starts right next to the tunnel opening, although you must drive a bit further to find a parking spot. It's just around 170 meters to walk to the farm from the tunnel opening. The road was built in connection with the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in 1974. You can also take the old road which is a super steep path from the fjord, just 530 meters below. If you want to use the tunnel you must drive up at full hour and down at half hours. This is to avoid oncoming traffic, because you can't pass each other once you are in the tunnel.

Road construction in Norway is quite an adventure!
In Iceland we went through a tunnel that was single track with passing places for over 4 km, then it had a bifurcation in the middle of the mountain;-)

Both we and Iceland have some challenging places where we insist to build a road. Some really long bridges and underwater tunnels are under planning several places along the coast, to make a ferry free road along the coast.

Quite a lot of your existing bridges were built at the same time- I wonder how they will deal with it once they start disintegrating... We are having this problem right now in Germany, a lot of bridges have reached a certain age and start getting unsafe. And of course there's not enough money....
