After 398 explosions and 550,000 t of rock blasted out, Nye Veier and Acciona have broken through the new tube of the 1625 m Være tunnel on the E6 from Ranheim to Værnes. Work will now begin on the tunnel's infrastructure, such as surface water pipes, electrical work, safety work and road construction. Safety inspections and tests will then be carried out before road users can drive through the new tunnel, these inspections should be carried out towards the end of 2023.

The breakthrough of the two remaining tunnels is expected during the summer of 2022.  The E6 Ranheim-Værnes will be a 23 km four-lane motorway with middle sections, including the 3 twin-tube tunnels Være (1.6 km), Stavsjøfjell (1.7 km) and Hell (3.8 km); 5 new two-level intersections; 3 new highway bridges and several new transition bridges and culverts.
