Tunneling in Norway

There are five things we saw a lot of in Norway.

  1. Sheep
  2. Teslas
  3. Roundabouts
  4. Waterfalls
  5. Tunnels

Especially up in the mountain areas we were in tunnels a lot. I decided to get creative with my camera and get some tunnel shots!

Long exposure


Here are some interesting facts about Tunneling in Norway

  1. The first Norwegian road tunnel was built in 1884.
  2. The great breakthrough for traffic tunnelling came with the construction of the Bergen Railway in 1909. (We took the Bergen Railway)
  3. 182 tunnels were constructed as part of this first rail connection between east and west of Norway
  4. Today Norway has more than 1800 road and rail tunnels
  5. The total length of Norway's tunnels well over 621 miles (1000 km)

Coming out

Arizona is a mostly flat desert and there are not tunnels here. So it was a fun treat to see and drive through so many tunnels!
