Legger til venstresvingfelt

The project involves expanding the Heimdalsvegen/Ringvålvegen intersection in Heimdal sentrum by adding a new dedicated left-turn lane for drivers turning up Ringvålvegen. Previously, cars had to move left far in advance, which obstructed vehicles going straight and caused traffic congestion during peak hours.

Flytter fortau og trær

The construction includes removing the existing sidewalk and a row of birch trees to create the new lane, while a new sidewalk and tree row will be relocated closer to the station building. New traffic lights with dedicated left-turn arrows will be installed, along with a marked traffic island to indicate the start of the new lane. The new lane effectively benefits drivers going straight by reducing obstacles in their path.

Brende AS utfører arbeid

Work is being carried out by Brende AS on behalf of the developer Trym Bolig. It is a sequence requirement connected to the development of the nearby Blomkvartalet project. The relocation of underground utility networks beneath the sidewalk is among the main tasks prior to lane establishment. The work is expected to continue through the end of the year, though weather conditions could cause delays, especially in road markings.

8 000 biler daglig gjennomkjøring

Traffic volume statistics indicate nearly 8,000 vehicles daily passing between this intersection and the Kattemskogen roundabout 400 meters away. The first part of Ringvålvegen toward Åsheim school sees 4,000 to 5,000 vehicles per day. The lane expansion aims to improve traffic flow at one of Heimdal’s busiest crossroads, addressing a longstanding bottleneck and enhancing daily commutes.
