Lærdal Tunnel - Лердальский тоннель, 2012г

Lærdal Tunnel (Norwegian: Lærdalstunnelen) is a 24.51-kilometre (15.23 mi) long road tunnel connecting Lærdal and Aurland in Sogn og Fjordane, Norway. It is the longest road tunnel in the world, and carries two lanes of European Route E16, the main road between Oslo and Bergen. In 1975, the Parliament of Norway decided that the main road between Oslo and Bergen would run via Filefjell, and in 1992 passed legislation to build the tunnel. Construction started in 1995, and the tunnel opened in 2000. It cost 1,082 million Norwegian krone ($113.1M USD[1]), although unlike most tunnels in Norway was not subject to tolls.[2][3] It is located approximately 175--200 kilometres (109--120 mi) north-east of Bergen. In June 1992, the Norwegian Parliament decided that the road between Bergen and Oslo should be built via Aurland, to Lærdal, and over Filefjell. The 24.51-kilometre (15.23 mi) long road tunnel between Aurland and Lærdal represents the final link on the new main highway connecting Oslo and Bergen without ferry connections and difficult mountain crossings during the winter. On completion this tunnel succeeded the Gotthard Road Tunnel as the longest road tunnel in the world. The tunnel is a part of the E16 highway route.
