Although, Norway has already the world's longest road tunnel of 24 Km, the Stad Ship Tunnel will be the first
proper ship tunnel. The engineering behind it will not involve radical innovation.
It is epected to become a tourist attraction. With a tunnel through the Stad peninsula in the far north of Sogn og Fjordane large and small boats could always assume that they will be able to sail. The length of the tunnel will be 1.7 km.
The images of the tunnel are finally ready: https://www.nrk.no/sognogfjordane/slik- ... 1.13179678
