Bybanen to Åsane new cost estimate
The Norwegian railway authority has revised the projected cost of extending Bergen’s Bybanen light rail to Åsane to 28.9 billion Norwegian kroner, a figure released by NRK. The new estimate shows the tunnel segment will cost 4.1 billion kroner more than the alternative alignment along Bryggen in Bergen, according to the report. Various local authorities and planning bodies have submitted recommendations for the route, including a preferred alignment through Kaigaten‑Sandviken, and the project to cross over Bryggen has already been approved.
