Well regardless, even 200m will be too deep for tunnel construction. Unless you mean a floating one. (That floats underwater and stayed by cables to prevent it to float on top of the water)

Someone should build one already. I mean the technology would be awesome, and if norway had the balls (plenty of opportunities...) to try it (they have soooo much oil money, they could take the risk...), they'd have the rights to the technology. Sad they dont have the balls

I think we have some floating bridges tough... ;D

WTF 850 meters of deep very impressive

Floating bridges:

Nordhordaland bridge:

Bergsøysund bridge:

Floating bridges have been around for decades, Washington State has 3 of the longest in world, over 6000m. Its reliable technology.

floating bridges have been around for thousands of years and they use them regularly in wars

It is pretty wild

Deepest point of the fjord at the crossing point is 500 meters. And the mountains surrounding is 1200 meters tall.

I don't know if this has been said or not.. but..

IT'S ON!

They started construction in february, and the construction is scheduled to complete in 2013. i wouldn't expect much yet though, the first things they did were starting the digging, explosions, and boring. So no construction yet.

Here's some similar photos from when another,shorter but similar bridge in Norway got built though. This is probably what it will look like when they make it anyway.
if you absolutely need to know, it's Fedafjorden bridge.

And i must quote someone who posted a few months ago

"Well regardless, even 200m will be too deep for tunnel construction. Unless you mean a floating one. (That floats underwater and stayed by cables to prevent it to float on top of the water)"

What? XD

There are several tunnels in Norway that are deeper than 200m under the sea, one goes as low as 287!

Ingenioren · April 24th, 2009, 12:46 PM

^ Yes we do (i think it's even a world record), but if the bridge is just as cheap or cheaper, we go with bridge ;D

^ That's the road who got critics for being to narrow? Doesn't look narrow to me... ;D

Better renderings of Hardangerbrua

Yes its almost 500m deep at the crossing, and extremely steep. So a tunnel is not an option.

A floating tunnel has been envisioned by politicians and and developers at several other fjord-crossings in Norway. Its is insanely expensive, and with technologies we don't really have today.

man iwanna visit this when its done

There is planning going on now in Norway for a underwater four lane roadtunnel called "rogfast" crossing another fjord between Stavanger and Haugesund. The tunnel will be 25 km long and deepest point will be 360m under sealevel.
The project is in the national transportation plan and construction will probably start sometime between 2014-2019.

This bridge looks magnificent in that landscape. It has a more beautiful design than most contemporary suspension bridges too. The big new suspension bridges in China, for instance, are all identical in design and very generic and dull. This one could rival Denmark's Great Belt Bridge, France's Millau Viaduct, and Japan's Akashi-Kaikyo, as the world's most spectacular bridge of recent years.

If construction really started when can we see some pictures?
