The Arefjord tunnel
Sotra Link has achieved tunnel breakthrough, and they are now finishing the tunnels. Then extensive testing of the safety systems remains before they can be approved and opened for traffic. The tunnel opens for traffic together with the rest of the new highway.
Work in Knarrevik at the new Sotra Bridge
Sotra Link is carrying out blasting at the new Sotra Bridge. This work does not affect traffic, but a siren can be heard in the area before a blast goes off.
Other activities such as soil moves, relocation of soil masses and fill work continue in Knarrevik.
