📋 Tender Overview
This government has ensured the development of roads throughout the country. It makes everyday life easier for people and business. It also provides work. Now we have a breakthrough in the Skarvberg tunnel. This means that there are holes throughout the mountain on the way to the North Cape. It is an important step towards a new and safe road for both motorists and soft road users says Minister of Transport Knut Arild Hareide.Todays fired ointment provided holes in the new Skarvberg tunnel. The new tunnel is the only road between E6 and Nordkapp municipality. A road that is used a lot by both tourists and residents.Nordkapp is a popular tourist destination. At the same time it is the home of many who use the road all year round. The business community is also dependent on this road. It was time for a new Skarvberg tunnel and now we literally see the light at the end of the tunnel says Hareide.Delayed projectThe rock has been more labor-intensive than expected so it has taken time to drill and blast through. It also means delays in the project which is now expected to open in the second half of 2022.I want to praise Skanska and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. They have faced significant challenges. They have solved this in a good way. It is difficult to build a road through mountains in the corona period but now some of the most difficult work is over. I hope it will be possible to open the tunnel next year says the Minister of Transport.
