The risk is newly registered in Sunnyvale municipality list.
As mentioned earlier in the drive, there has been a request from several sources to facilitate pedestrians and cyclists through the new Oppdølsstrandtunnelen. Today, the tunnel is closed for feather road. Ramboll concluded in the report that the special arrangements in the form of cross expansion or separate bicycle tunnel will not be economically viable. The report shows that one either be offered taxi for all riders through the tunnel. This is estimated to amount to around 700,000 per year. As will be considerably cheaper than the investment cost of additional tunnel profile. “Even though such consideration is not a realistic option, it helps to put the benefits and costs in perspective.”
In the note appears however that the probability that a cyclist will perish as a result of landslides along the old road through the beach is very small.
“Basically, we thus believe that cyclists should be able to use existing roads rather than using tunnels”, it says in conclusion.
Ramboll points out that the existing road will eventually have poorer accessibility in line with the maintenance ends.
“Nevertheless, we believe that for many years will be able to pick up on this stretch with substantially lower risk than previously since the traffic is gone.”
As previously discussed in the driver’s NPRA started with a work that will result in an overall strategy for the tunnels that open for cyclists and which must be closed. Today, 18 of the total of just over 90 tunnels in the county closed to pedestrians and cyclists. Among them is the 7.5 km long Oppdølsstrandtunnelen. The nearly 6 km long Øksendal tunnel and the 2.3 km long Skrøotunnelen, however – perhaps surprisingly for some – not closed to pedestrians and cyclists. However, for both of these it is also possible to cycle the old road around.
