Stavanger — Norway is setting a new benchmark in global infrastructure with the construction of the Rogfast Tunnel, designed to be the world’s longest and deepest subsea road tunnel. Stretching 26.7 kilometers and descending 396 meters below sea level, the project represents a €1.9 billion investment in connectivity and resilience.
The tunnel will link Randaberg and Bokn in Rogaland, overcoming geographic barriers that currently require seven ferry crossings and up to 21 hours of travel. Once completed, the journey will be reduced to just 35 minutes, saving nearly 10 hours and providing a reliable, all‑weather alternative to maritime transport.
With a four‑lane design, Rogfast is engineered to handle high traffic volumes while ensuring safety under extreme subsea pressure. Construction teams are deploying advanced drilling technologies to penetrate dense seabed rock, ensuring structural integrity and long‑term durability.
From a business perspective, Rogfast strengthens Norway’s logistics framework, enabling faster movement of goods and people across the region. The tunnel is expected to boost tourism, reduce freight costs, and enhance competitiveness for industries reliant on predictable transport routes.
The project also reflects Norway’s leadership in sustainable infrastructure. By reducing dependence on ferries, Rogfast lowers emissions and integrates seamlessly into the country’s broader transport modernization strategy. Completion is projected for 2033, positioning Norway as a global reference point for subsea engineering and cross‑border connectivity.
