The Scandinavian nation of Norway is famed for its encompassing mountains, glaciers, green spaces, and museums, but in 2018, they decided to take a rather unique turn. The Norwegian government embarked on the largest infrastructure project in the entire Europe by building a new coastal highway project that aims to eliminate the needs for ferry services. Let's all take a ride inside Norway's 47 billion-dollar floating highway.

Norway's western coast is home to some of the most dramatic landscapes you will find anywhere in the world. The glaciers and fjords throughout the coastal strip meant the travel route through and around this terrain will take any traveler at least 1,000km, a journey that takes up about 21 hours. This misery prompted the Norwegian government to work towards improving access to services, residential, and labor markets across the country's western regions by investing in the largest infrastructure project in the country's history. Named E39 Highway Project, the multi-billion-dollar transport channel appears to be the only solution to Norway's topographical wonders that has, over the years, created difficult challenges when it comes to connecting the cities with roads.

Being an environmental-conscious country, the government sought solutions that would help both its marine traffic and preserve its pristine fjords. From the plan, combining underground and underwater traffic with already existing infrastructure appeared like some distant abstract art, but they were able to execute it. By the end of this project, not only will 47 billion dollars be spent but the resultant project will be able to connect the capital Oslo in the southeast to the coastal cities of Bergen, Stavanger, Aalesund, and Trondheim, in the process, replacing numerous ferries with tunnels and bridges. But because of the landscape orientation, architects and civil engineers have been forced to develop new and inventive ideas to complete the route.

If completed, the project would contain a number of record-breaking engineering marvels. The suspension bridge at Sognefjord, for example, is expected to have 1,500-foot high towers, and its 12,100-foot-long span would dwarf the likes of Japan's Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. The Sognefjord bridge will be so huge that it would be three times that of the Golden State, the towers will each sprout 492 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower, thus becoming the tallest and the longest bridge in the world.
