Incredible plan for world’s longest & deepest road tunnel that will cost £36BILLION and cut 21 hour journey in half

An unprecedented underwater tunnel is set to become the longest and deepest in the world, with a staggering construction cost of £36 billion.

This remarkable large-scale initiative aims to reduce a 21-hour trip by half by providing a 16-mile passage.

Named The Rogfast, this tunnel will span across Norway, linking two significant urban centers.

The incredible undersea subway will run between the municipalities of Randaberg and Bokn in Rogaland county.

A large body of water separates these two spots and requires locals to use ferries to get across.

This route would help to connect the southern city Stavanger to the more northern city Bergen, according to World Highways.

Stavanger is crucial for its North Sea oil industry and Bergen is also known for oil and fishing.

The E39 motorway, which goes along this route, stretches 680 miles and takes around 21 hours to drive across.

The Western roadway runs between the southern city of Kristiansand and Trondheim in the north.

This remarkable tunnel will help millions of people who live southwest of these two major cities commute and travel.

The underwater route will go through a rock beneath a fjord.

Despite being the longest and deepest subwater tunnel, it will just take around 35 minutes to drive through.

Look inside 1,500ft-deep tunnels that will be shut off for 100,000 years

The Rogfast will cut just 30 miles off of the motorway route but save 11 hours by replacing the seven ferries that exist across the fjord.

This huge project is underway and the Norwegian government will cover around 40% of the whopping £36 billion cost, according to The B1M.

The rest of the value will come back through an approximate £30 toll that will be charged to use the subway.

6,000 vehicles are expected to use the incoming tunnel eachday.

The unparalleled tunnel is not due to be completed for years, after work started in 2018.

RECORD BREAKERS

This route has overtaken another Norwegian underwater tunnel to become the longest in the world.

The 15 mile long Lærdal tunnel currently holds to top spot but will lose its record-breaking status once The Rogfast is complete.

This tunnel currently links the cities Aurland and Lærdal together.

It also provides drivers with a ferry-free route between the capital Oslo and Bergen.
