Connections between the tubes every 250 m. Cross sections 2 x 53.5 sq m. Geology consisting of mostly of gneiss and amphibolite in the northern section, granite and gabbro in the south. Drill/blast method. In case of a continuous tunnel in Sandeidet, there may be a short cut-and-cover section. Support with rockbolts and shotcrete. Permanent lining of 4.5 m high concrete elements at the tunnel walls. Type of lining in the tunnel roof has not been decided yet. Project awaiting final approval of the plans and financing. Estimated work start in 2005. The project may be divided in several stages depending on financing. Geology studies by the University in Bergen. Experts from Statens Vegvesen - the Norwegian public roads administration - have investigated the risk for water leakages in the subsea sections. Risk analysis by Safetec Risk Management.
