The new E16 to end road chaos

Statens vegvesen is planning a new E16 that is expected to halve travel times and eliminate the very steep climb up Eggemobakken, according to NRK Buskerud. The project aims to remove a known congestion point on the main road. Drivers should, however, be prepared to wait several years before it opens (NRK Buskerud).

The case illustrates the priority given to infrastructure in Buskerud county. The new E16 is presented as a response to traffic chaos, but its completion remains a distant prospect. Politicians and road users will therefore have to live with the current conditions for a long time to come (NRK Buskerud).
