Norway's Coastal Highway project is an ambitious endeavor aimed at improving access and connectivity along the nation's western coast. The current E39 highway, spanning 1,100 kilometers, traverses stunning fjords carved by glaciers over millions of years. To eliminate ferry services and enhance transportation infrastructure, the project involves constructing bridges, tunnels, and innovative solutions across challenging terrains. Notable features include the world's longest and deepest underwater road tunnel, Rogfast, and proposals for crossings over vast fjords like Bjornafjord and Sognefjord. Despite concerns about environmental impact, the project promises socio-economic benefits by enhancing accessibility to markets and services, fostering economic growth, and promoting tourism. The Coastal Highway symbolizes human ingenuity and underscores the importance of balancing progress with environmental stewardship.
