The Norwegian Road Authority (NorRoad) awarded a USD 10.3M contract to VTT Maritime, for a portion of NorRoad's planned highway E39 improvement project. Under the contract, VTT will provide sea mapping, seismic surveying and measurement wire drilling at the site of a major subsea tunnel location. The existing highway E39 is part of the European trunk road system and extends for 1,100km along Norway's western coast. The rugged terrain currently requires drivers to negotiate ferry crossings at eight deep fjords, which results in a total transit time of 21 hours between Trondheim and Kristiansand.
