      People are sleeping on Norway’s infrastructure feats. They are masters of getting roads across mountains and fjords, on incredibly tight budgets.

      I don’t like it. Impressive … but I don’t like it. 

      What if something goes wrong? The unexpected? 1000 feet below the sea level? This reeks of hubris.

      That would be a pretty sweet road race. Just over a half-marathon.

      It’s crazy how tight of a budget this is for the project.

      17 mile long tunnel for $2.4 billion (USD). Meanwhile Atlanta is spending $5 billion to add 16 mile long toll lanes to partially-but-not-really solve some of the traffic issues on a one single road that was previously solved when employers let employees work from home. But then Republicans screamed and cried and shit their pants demanding people sit in offices to stare at screens all day and traffic has been the worst it’s ever been.

      I’ve taken the 15 km tunnel from Stavanger. It’s amazing, near the middle it suddenly opens up into a huge cavern. There is also neon light art along the way to keep you occupied and break up the monotony.

      That is unfathomably cheap if they really make it for anything near $2.5 billion. An elevated light rail here in Honolulu will cost at least $10 billion, no tunnels or bridges.

      So the title should be „tunnels“ right? There is no way they are just building a tunnel the entire way when there are are already roads.

      Ah yes, the nightmare fuel par excellance for the people who cannot stand being in tunnels… The specific term is Gephyrophobia, with a side order of claustrophobia.

      Fear of being trapped is also in there, I guess. As is the fear of drowning.

      Upshot, I showed the article to my partner (who has a phobia of being trapped in an underground tunnel under the ocean) and said, „I’ll fuckin‘ swim before I take that tunnel.“
