"an architect dream, is an engineers nightmare"
Ernest Jay I wonder how they want to build underwater without flooding it
@@Enixcrime rivers and oveans are oftenly waterproof (or their floors) otherwise they would dry out
Moritz K Even if the ocean floor was “waterproof” that has nothing to do with building a tunnel above it.
louis stucke either build above sea lvl and them lowered or like pillars are made
@@theguyyoudontknow1103 that was only a consept, the highway that is currently beeing build is a tunnel underneath seafloor
Me: Has a shit ton of homework
Also me: Investigating Norwegian infrastructure
I have two essays due tomorrow and I'm watching this video. It's 11pm and I haven't even started
@@reconreality4579 🙏
The majority of world doesn't have homework or can't relate to your pathetic problems so don't make comments which doesn't apply to most people
Im watching this at 12:48am and i have work at 6am. I just cant pass this good knowledge. Hahha
@@gettingfaster801 He said "me". It didn't have to be relatable lol, chill.
The really fun part of this is that the government demands the old, romantic, nostalgic and scenic roads to be upheld so people can choose if they want to go fast, or enjoy the scenery and culture along the coast.
Thank god for this. The majority of the "tourist" roads are in great shape. You dont have to go near a major route if you dont want to. Though sometimes there is only on option, but you still have the scenery most of the time anyway.

@@andydunn5673now have a little sit down and think about your comment.
This sounds like one of those Minecraft projects you would never finish

As someone who specializes in road infrastructure in Minecraft, I can safely say this is more akin to: A massive project that one player spends all his time making for a server and then the server gets shut down. He eventually does it again a year later.

Imagine missing your exit in that tunnel
😁
Well, instead of 6 mins to next exit turn around, maybe this is 30 minutes.
I am sure there are probably connecting between tunnels every so often to prevent this or it will be way longer to get back on track ;p
funny
That tunnel will never be that busy, Im pretty sure you can do a cautious U-turn ..
alliballiskalli That is what the like function is for. If you have anything to add to the discussion you use the comment function.
Many years ago, I rented a car and drove it from Oslo to Trondheim, I wanted to see what Norway was like after skiing at Oslo, and I did! I'd love to drive their new super Coastal Highway but probably never will. What a beautiful country Norway is, and the people are just as beautiful as their country! Back then, as I stopped at a little store or some interesting spot along the way, the older people didn't speak English so they'd call their children to talk to me, because they did! I enjoyed every minute of that trip, about 50 years ago!
Do you live in Norway?
@@sugerfarm No, but I like the country so much that I've thought of moving there from time to time!
Personally I would feel anxious driving long distances in underwater tubes.
in norway there are so many tunnels through mountains, there are also chance of boulders falling down mountains, this underwater tunnel should be just as safe as traveling at current roads, but yeah same :D :)
@@TheDyrehauge exactly, I felt asleep directly after driving exit the tunnel. no one in Norway has sleep problem...
@@odysliu9102 thats scary, you probably where affected by the c02, alot of exhaust fumes in those tunnels i remember when drivning to work in Norway

Why
Some update on the Rogfast project:
Tunnel (3.5km) down from Kvitsøy is complete. Around 2800m of both main tubes had been blasted just before Christmas 2023.
The road project is expected to open in 2033. Tunnel will be 26.7km (16.59 miles) long and go down to 390m (~1280ft) below sea level.
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.
Norway has so much money it's literally playing Cities Skylines in real life.
i live in norway and the roads were my dad lives is disgusting Norway is kinda a like a catfish country bc it looks so beutifaul but it's not, we are to rich and have bad roads and not nice buildings
@@Hello-Out-There I mean they are fixing the roads the country is evolving and that’s good
USA:
@@zalostefan9341 don’t you have like 7G data speeds
@@jackattack9696 atleast where I live, wifi isn’t very stable (depends on where you live) the municipality I live in only concentrates their money in 1 town. Good for the town, but I used to live on the other side of the mucilipality, WiFi would cut if it rained too much, and the roads are narrow and small, and the population is decreasing, fast. As most of the people outside of the main town are old, the town is growing fast, the rest of the island is stagnant, one of my friends internet providers (Telenor) cut their internet, and they have to travel to their house that’s actually designated for tourists to get internet. The cities here are nice tho
This is amazing, in Michigan they can't even fix potholes.
John kopy I am afraid that is because Americans do not pay enough taxes to pay for safer infrastructure. Much of it needs repairing.
@@chriswilliams6568 It depends on who you are. Half the people don't pay a dime in taxes. Then when we hit a certain threshold over half our money is taken. I guess we just need more people actually making money. It's no wonder some people want higher taxes, they don't pay any taxes.
Where I'm at, our former Mayor's neglected (some extreme, some minimal) our roads for the past 50 years. 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!
Umm if you go right outside the major cities (country roads etc.), you’ll experience quite a few “potholes”. I don’t even call them potholes at this point, they’re just holes that a 10 year old can fit inside
Lol xD
This is an extremely impressive and unique project. Norway is impressive, period. Norwegians are great, I speak from experience.
you mean to say Why would I want to see the scenery when I can stare down a concrete tunnel for hours.
@@posteye8408 It’s not really to drive through to look at the scenery though, it’s to get to more locations easier.
I like how India's coastal road project was criticized for damaging nature, but this is praised. Hypocrites!
I never met a smoking hot Norwegian girl I didn’t like
@@srirampatnaik9164 because this doesn't damage nature, it incorporates it. If India wants praise then it should do better.
Geez that sure is a HUGE project for a country with such a small and sparsely populated population. Like where I live there's a billion people in 1 square meter and we can't even get gravel roads. Norway really is beyond and above what it means to live in a developed country! These are some next level services!

In western Canada we have Vancouver island and ppl say a bridge or tunnel is impossible. But Norway is doing much more. I guess well see how much gets done
@@rushabhchheda2582 don't say that too loud. The USA will hear you!

@@rushabhchheda2582 Norway doesn't use oil money to build this or any roads in Norway.
The roads are built with tax money.

Ja, hahaha
On Statens vegvesen website (Norwegian Public Road Administration) you can follow the status of all the projects (click interaktive kart): www.vegvesen.no/vegprosjekter/ferjefriE39/delprosjekt/fjordkryssing
Some of the crossings are already completed, some under construction and some under design
i'm here too!
yes
hahah, sant
It looks so simple when you're watching
Indeed
Until a leak.
@Iam Notafan You'd be more likely to die outside the tube than inside the tube, so your worries are futile.
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.

Sounds like one of those projects that will end up having multiple unexpected costs and extra needed years, each of them being almost as big as the initial budget, in this case resulting in over 200+ billion in total costs and like 15 extra years to finish it, give or take.
blaaa... we can take it... and we're used to it by now, so no surprise if that happends...
I doubt it. Norway have had decades of experience with these kind of projects.
Lots of things can be done with money, and Norway got tons of it
Norway use so much time on anything at all so this road wont probably be finished until 2999
Heh believe me, they might finish in time but they sure as hell go over the budget. There are too many unpredictables in these unique, mega projects that even the most sound design and management may not cover all possibilities. The numbers are just that, numbers. You have to pray to the engineering gods for the rest.

My personal opinion as a norwegian myself, is that the norwegian people are not as nice as people think, we treat tourist with alot of respect, but treat our own people like shit, people dont talk to each other, everyone is alcoholics and are obsessed with their phone. There are few good people but they are few in comparison. We are truly brainwashed to some point, but im happy tourist looks at us as good people
wow! thanks, Stalin! Bring Putin next time!

You paint a picture of Norway and Norwegians I just can't get behind. "Everyone is alcoholics"? Where do you live? That's just not true. I'll give you the phone, you are right about that one, but that is true for the whole western world!

@@andyduhamel1925 Or STOL/V aircraft. It's amazing what you can do when you don't have to spend capital to defend against the next "Hitler". But somebody's gotta do it...
My thought, is it necessary or is it prestige?
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.
What an extraordinary feat of engineering! The graphics are beautiful. Best wishes. 🦋

@@SaiSriKannanandaBossaSwamikal Love the poem bro
the 3D models are so realistic! They even have realistic Norwegian drivers, two people in the passing lane overtaking NO ONE! 2:16 amazing
In Canada (at least in Toronto), all drivers drive on the leftmost lane regardless if they are passing or not. This leads to a weird situation where the rightmost lane is faster than the leftmost and you would use the right lane to pass.
My favorite part was the phone on the opposite side of the road from the emergency pull off. You know, "for safety".
They were being kind and courteous to the driver that was pulled over on the shoulder.
Michael JM the phone is on the same side as the emergency pull off. The emergency exit is on the opposite. Just an observation.
That's the fast lane :)

Please make an update on the current situation of these projects
Norway is investing its good fortune in long term infrastructures that will benefit future generations.
Raymond Payette Absolutely! I believe it is wise to have the majority of these projects going underground, as the Norwegian nature and landscape is very unique and should not be "destroyed" by heavy roads and structures. The fjords are mother natures creation, let us leave it like that
it would cost 5bln dollars maintenance a year. for the population size of Norway, would be the creasiest project ever

@@stormywindmill That was the point of my comment yes. And the problem with Romania is not that its a'' horse and cart country'' its the corruption and carelessness caused by it. People simply dont care cause theyre not educated and they are not educated cause of the corruption its a vicious circle
@@vitothepizzaguy7475 i was in Romania for a year and i can tell that you completely summed up your country here.
Boy, I'd love to live in Norway, what a stunning country.
its an expensive country to live in.
@@MasterChief37 well it is still a stunning country even if its expesive:-)
I'd like to propose a zip line for vehicles. Kinda like amusement meets necessity. And of course, safety first.
like in Bee Movie?
I think only small econo cars and containers of the same size and weight could zip across. The cost of building it would be prohibitive for large cars and trucks. Good idea though.
Thats a terrible idea lol
How about rockets? Just attach and shoot the car to the other side.
How about whales? Just tie the cars onto whales and make it swim across.
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 !!
It's not that expensive really, just 10.000$ per Norwegian citizen. Basically everyone works for half a year for the government and we are done.
Dochmbi, your numbers are wrong. You have to remember that not all of norways population is working. If i remember corectly its like 1-2 mill of them
Wait, Russians IS friendly! We Norwegians doesn't have the same point of view as the Americans when it comes to Russia.
Tja... Det er vel litt delte meninger om akkurat det...
MeqanichHD well, we have no problems with Russians, but Russia as a country is another story. It's not too long ago since they told us they might have to point their nuclear warheads towards us. Hardly a friendly thing to say.
Proud to have worked in Norwegian Public Roads Administration😀
Thank you for the information
Why would I want to see the scenery when I can stare down a concrete tunnel for hours.
@Yeetus Yeetus Kermit self deletus I like trains: Same here. Take a vacation and just travel the tunnels
They dispatch a drone to follow each vehicle, blue-toothing the image back to your phone so you can watch yourself driving! It's like watching the train channel...
The original highway I'm sure is still an option, and the people using the new highway have been surrounded by this scenery their whole lives.
Concrete tunnels/underground bunkers are our future mate. Whether you like it or not...
Why would I spend 21 hours business traveling on car when I can spend 5?
Imagine breaking down in that tunnel
Imagine needing to pee and being stuck in that long ass tunnel without any stops.
very long tunnels typically have places to pull over, id assume this tunnel would be the same but who knows.
The design at 2:20 does include emergency lay-by sections which have elevators to the surface.
Lemme introduce you to a concept of pee bottle; wide-mouth bottles such as Gatorade or Vitamin Water are most effective.
@@boxr_4214 2:20
Thank you so much.
2:10 I never thought we had technology to dig tunnels that deep underground. Amazing.
Amazing Country & Amazing Project! Good Luck with everything Norway!!
Greetings from Greece 🤚
Speak greek
Nice to see Norway actually uses their oil money to improve the countries infrastructure rather than give it to Royalty to spend on expensive yachts and cars (Saudi Arabia), or spend it on weapons (USA).
Actually it's the use of taxes, toll stations an high petrol cost that pays for it.
@@Jakuri93 His point still stands 😉
just more proof that white ethnostates are always the best
I don't think you know what our oil money goes to. It is mostly proportionated in free, school, health care ect.
This is called the proper utilization of citizen's tax money.
What a beautiful country.
Very informative, great video thanks
They have just opened some of the first tunnels and they are sooo cool. In the middle of the tunnel they built this giant opening with cool lights that made the whole space look like we were driving through an ice cave.
It isn’t a part of the rogfast project, Ryfast is only connecting Ryfylke to Stavanger.
It's like just not even $10k per citizen. Take into consideration the huge time savings. Also this motorway covers like 80% of the population when it's done.
How many tons of ciment do you need ?
Norway: Yes.
lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Yeetus Yeetus Kermit self deletus I like trains semen(t)

That was mind blowing! So cool!
Informative and very enjoyable
What a country with wise leaders. I wish we have wise leaders in Africa as well instead of corrupt greedy stupid bastards thinking of building a national cathedral. Famous Amos
Suicidal Life Norway 🇳🇴
Yup
American here: Africa isn't the only continent overrun with corrupt, greedy stupid bastards. In my country we call it "Capitalism".
@@johnreed1268 capitalism is a necessary evil 😌
@@johnreed1268 ever heard of India
47 Billion? The Australian government can't even build a roundabout for 100 Billion, thats how utterly useless they are
And those 47 Bn aren't even that much to norway because they rich af.
You wait until we get that SYD-MEL High Speed Train!
We can't even build a relatively moderate speed train line in Florida.
They're building a bypass freeway thing just north of Adelaide , taken over 3yrs so far and still not finished, not even 5 miles long , the thing will be outdated and blow out price before it's done, also disrupting traffic flow from the North, East and South... Well done guys !
Same in canada. We cant build a extra lane for that much. These countries are clearly ahead of us even if forbs or the UN disagrees
I’m looking forward to going to Norway!
Just one of the few projects a country can do when it's not busy blowing it's budget on military spending
"Not sure what the future holds for us" - Bjorn Ferryoperatorson
Haha! Nice.
Hilarious😂
Lol.
But to nitpick a little; -son is the Swedish/Icelandic surname ending, -sen is the Norwegian one.
@@Nabium Maybe Bjorn Ferryoperatorson moved to Norway from Iceland?
@@petemgw413 I think he must be an immigrant from the Netherlands or the Anglosphere, then. If he was from Iceland, his name would be Björn :P
Love this channel, keeps me updated with all my geography needs :)
fantastic mate
Mega Project! Great Engineers 👌 intelligent people!!
what a waste - this is money that could be spent on american weapons to protect against imagined threats.
hhhh
Lol
Lol
or "Secret Space Program".
USA is like a swiss cheese, classified tunnels build by the US-army, btw.
Im not sure why im watching this, but i can't stop.
Enjoyed the video
What a project... Superb!!!
Back in 1970's: We are going to have flying cars by 2020!
2020: *floating tunnels*
Much better if it happens
lol!
Lol
Find some old copies of Popular Science/Popular Mechanics magazines in the 1950's and read about the predictions of flying cars to be everywhere by 1970. Some engineers live in a perpetual dream world. Just remember that most cars today still run on the basic principles of the internal combustion engine, even after 100+ years.
And how would they line mark (pinstripe) the traveling lanes? just imagine the mayhem in the air. If I can not pass(overtake) you on the left or right I'll do it below or above
Who else want to see Tom cruise chasing by a bad guy in this highway
mission impossible 10
Fast and Furious 148.....
it wont look much or any different from a normal tunnel from the inside.
okokok i know 😂😂😂💀
Tom Cruise IS the bad guy - Scientology maniac!
I do NOT like the floating pontoon idea. What happens if something hits one of the pontoons and twists the tunnel?
Amazing. Thank you
My grandparents left Norway in the 1920's as children. I think it may be time to head back home.
@@zillymonkeytv3013 Uhm, what? You do know Norway has been announced the happiest country in the world.
@@Emily-ys2do They don't have KFC, nopeee
@@edizon204 Yup, that's a major disadvantage
Ja, meg også!
@@zillymonkeytv3013 actually, Norway is #70-ish on the list. The USA is MUCH higher. Your logic is flawed.
Meanwhile here in Italy bridges collapse
Who says these are not?
Because we don't fill cheap bricks into the structure..
And in U.S
We don’t have mafia and corruption in the same way. Also: I like the believe that we know more about bridges now than 50 years ago.
It's all down to a difference in mentality.
this was AMAAAAZING!! 👌🏼👍🏼🙌🏼
rest stops?hotels?auto service stations ,driverless transports?weight restrictions? tolls to help pay, stickers to ID ALL TRAFFIC, POLICE RESCUE VEHICLES?,
I enjoyed seeing , Thank you
