Norway's Rogfast tunnel, the world's deepest and longest underwater road, is set to revolutionize travel times by eliminating ferry dependence. The 26.7-kilometer tunnel, reaching nearly 400 meters below sea level, will connect Randaberg and Bokn, significantly reducing travel times between key cities and replacing ferry routes on the E39 highway. Construction, costing billions, began in 2018 and is expected to be completed by 2033. This ambitious project aims to improve traffic flow and is a testament to Norway's commitment to infrastructure. The Rogfast tunnel is expected to set a global precedent for underwater road engineering.
