Ringvålvegen Expansion and Elevation Project

Ringvålvegen-heving forbedrer tilgang

The Ringvålvegen Expansion and Elevation Project involves raising the section of Ringvålvegen between Ole Laulos veg and Kirkeringen by 1.5 to 2 meters. This elevation aims to improve the accessibility and safety for the metro bus, which will begin operations next year. The current conditions of the area, known as 'Trangdalen,' are too narrow and steep to accommodate large vehicles.

Utvidelse av gang- og sykkelvei

In addition to raising the roadway, the project will also expand the current pedestrian and cycling paths. The existing gang- and sykkelveg will be converted into a 3.5-meter-wide cycling path with an adjacent 2.5-meter-wide footpath. These changes will enhance the safety and convenience for cyclists and pedestrians in the area.

Kortere kulvert forbedrer miljøet

The project also addresses the existing culvert for the Søra creek, which runs under Ringvålvegen. The plan includes removing the current culvert and replacing it with a shorter one to allow the creek to be exposed as much as possible. This adjustment aims to improve environmental conditions and the natural flow of the creek.
