Up to 3,000 homes, cruise terminal and park planned in Filipstad – but first the problem of traffic solved.
Planning and Building Services (PBE) believes it is crucial to put E18 in tunnel, but the tunnel has become a real headache for city development councils Bård Folke Fredriksen, who was planning proposals at their tables in 2013.
How to finance the 500 meter long tunnel, which is estimated to cost somewhere between 2.2 to 2.5 billion, is in fact still in the blue.

Will drop tunnel and build park covers over the road
Plan smithy, which is a coalition of five organizations (see facts), has outlined a different solution. They will drop the tunnel nor build two park covers over current E18.
They also moved the ferry terminal further out in Filipstad, and covered terminal building with a park. It will provide a continuous green space along the waterfront of Filipstad and further along Frognerstranda.
– Good reason to look into the proposals
Now they’ve Asplan Viak to consider parts of municipal planning proposals against their solutions. Asplan Viak seen on road system and location of park and cruise terminal, and writes in his summary:
“There are elements in Plansmias proposals that should be paid attention because they can generate significant economic gains. This applies primarily to the value of larger and more cohesive park and recreational areas and gains by building up the terrain along the E18. “
– We have also presented to the Port and the Public Roads Administration. Our memorandum shows that there is good reason to look more closely at these three proposals Plan smithy, says Beate Folkestad Habhab, senior advisor and urban planner in Asplan Viak.
– Can start construction now
In the draft plan, which NPRA has signed for City of Oslo, the E18 tunneled with Ring 1 on top. Here the pedestrians cross the six fields.
– In our proposal crossing cars and pedestrians current E18 on bridges over Filipstad instead. Then do not have pedestrian crossings and dimming, says Erik Karlsen, representative of Plan smithy.
Karlsen underlines that by dropping tunnel through Filipstad will make it possible to add E18 under cover along Frognerstranda later .
– This will make it possible to get a green puff away completely to Bygdøy in the future. Moreover, it becomes possible to start the first stage of development right away. One does not need to initiate costly work with E18 in tunnel, says Karlsen.
He notes that their proposal is more affordable.
– Based on Asplan Viak report, we have estimated that our suggestions will be 2.5 to 3 billion cheaper than plane suggestions to PBE and the Port. The reason is that we use the existing quay for cruise boats and dropper tunnel. Besides, we have a much larger green area, which will result in higher prices for the properties closest Filipstad park, says Karlsen.
Ap: – Pass a new round of tunnel question
– We would like Having considered those initiatives Plan Smia talking about. The Commissioner has said to us in the urban development committee that Plansmias grip will be considered further, but so far we have not seen anything of it, says Anders Røberg-Larsen, faction leader of Labor in Urban Development Committee.
He thinks it is important to assess alternative solutions to ensure the best possible urban development.– Then it may be that you can add up to buildings with commercial on the road, so also the Port has proposed. If the neighbors are not anxious of the tunnel, should the city council to a round if it is necessary. If only the tunnel it is on, you have to find a way to arrange it so to get started. Right now it’s in the blue about to get started with anything out there, he said.
Will get started with construction
For the issue of cruise terminal should be placed where the ferry terminal is today, or whether it should be moved outward, so Plan Smia will, he says:
– Security measures will make the area around the cruise terminal is not readily available for those who are going on cruises. The question is how to achieve a vibrant and good urban spaces also around cruise terminal. We are keen to ensure that there is a green connection to the city beyond.
He believes the most important thing is to get started with the construction.– This is one of the last areas of the Fjord City to be built out. Oslo has a great need for new homes, and unable to keep pace with population growth. We are concerned that the matter will come to the City Council soon. It was the sent to the Commissioner in 2013, says Røberg-Larsen.
Commissioner: – Tunnel create good living conditions
Urban Development Commissioner Bård Folke Fredriksen maintains that Filipstad can not be developed without tunnel .
– Filipstad will not be successful if not building a tunnel. The whole idea of building a tunnel is that it should be good living conditions, and that opens the city fjord. Without tunnel must be built a wall of buildings in order to avoid environmental impact of E18. When one realizes not the Fjord City, says urban councils Bård Folke Fredriksen (H).
Six fields atop tunnel
NPRA solution shows Ring 1 on top of the tunnel. The tunnel is 520 meters long. Veian overlay (Ring 1) at the top has six fields, as well as bicycle paths and sidewalks.
– It is correct that it is six fields, but there is not six trough field. Two of the fields are turning fields to take off from Ring 1. And the two middle are bus lanes, says Morten Krog Sand NPRA, which specifies that collective fields are not for taxis and electric cars.– I doubt that land values increase if you do not put E18 in tunnel. Moreover, we then get fewer homes in Filipstad. One might ask how successful Barcode and opera had been today without Bjørvika tunnel. Therefore I do not believe the proposed Plan smithy, says Fredriksen.
– There are a lot park
The Commissioner believes the proposed plan to PBE contains more than enough park space.
– The park represents 41 goals of the 90 goals of open space. And there is a lot park, says Fredriksen.
– Plan Smia will use existing quay tip of Filipstad to cruise terminal. What do you think about that?
– How many ships there should be room for – and where they should be for the sake of fjords and today houses – we need to get back to, says Bård Folke Fredriksen .
