See the inside of Norway: Inside the Lærdal tunnel. It's 24.505 km and thus the longest road tunnel in the world. The picture shows one of three equidistant expansions. With the special lighting (designed by Erik Selmer) they are supposed to alleviate the monotony, and of course give you a chance to turn back. There is an old road over the mountain high above the tunnel; from 2008 on it'll be a National Tourist Road. The views from it are great, but if you fear things like long tunnels you might not like this road either. And if you continue westwards you'll soon be going through Fenja-tunnelen (5.053 km) and Gudvangen-tunnelen (11.428 km) |
