A bicycle ride in the Kronstadtunnelen (Kronstad Tunnel) in Bergen, Norway (September 2023). Highlights include a 475 m bicycle and pedestrian tunnel located on a AAA network and close to a light rail stop.

This 475 m tunnel opened in April 2023 and by the end of June 2023 had been used over 100,000 times. The highest daily counts occur during weekdays by cyclists. Similar to our previous video on Fyllingsdalstunnelen, the Kronstadtunnelen provides a more efficient route, connections between neighborhoods(Møllendal and Kronstad), and improved access to downtown Bergen.

Previously this was an old railway tunnel (from 1913), which needed to be enlarged for the conversion to a bicycle and pedestrian tunnel. This also included building a separate entrance at the North end for pedestrians.

Our ride begins by heading South on the bike lane just past Store Lungegårdsvann. As we approach the tunnel entrance we see that there are separate entrances for cyclists and pedestrians. Approximately 19 meters past the entrance these pathways merge into the main tunnel. Similar to Fyllingsdalstunnelen, pedestrians and cyclists have separated pathways throughout the tunnel. As we continue through Kronstadtunnelen we see colourful lighting and textured walls.

As we exit the tunnel the light rail tracks are our left (stop just ahead) and the protected bike lane continues ahead. This section of the AAA network continues beyond Fyllingsdalstunnelen and back to Bergen. As a visitor it was very easy to navigate.

Length of Kronstadtunnelen: 475 m

Construction completed in April 2023.
