The improvements in the Lrdal tunnel are necessary and will improve safety in the event of incidents and accidents says Minister of Transport Knut Arild Hareide.Work will start during 2022 and is scheduled to be completed in 2027. The tunnel will be closed between 22.00-06.00 during this period.We must make these improvements. At the same time it must have the least possible impact on all those who use the tunnel.
