Fyllingsdaltunellen (the Fyllingsdal tunnel) is a 2900 meter long tunnel through Løvstakken for pedestrians and cyclists between Fyllingsdalen and Minde in Bergen, Norway. The tunnel opened in spring 2023 and is the world's longest cycling tunnel.[1] It runs parallel to the light rail tunnel through the same mountain, and also functions as an escape tunnel for the light rail.[2]
Design[edit]
The width of the road is 6 meters. 3.5 meters is a cycle lane with white asphalt,[3] 2.5 meters is a walking lane for pedestrians, and there are also road shoulders. The lanes are separated from each other, with separate bicycle lanes for each direction, and the pedestrian lane slightly raised.
The tunnel walls are made of slanted concrete blocks to dampen reverberation and echoes.
