**rway to build world?s first ship tunnel at sea
 OSLO: **rway on Wednesday unveiled plans to build the world’s first sea tunnel to pass through a mountain, avoiding dangerous waters that intimidated even the Vikings.Built to bypass the Stad peninsula, a storm-swept area in western **rway, the Stad ship tunnel will be 1.7 kilometres long and 36 meters wide, making journeys safer. "The Stad tunnel for boats will finally be built," said **rwegian Transport Minister Ketil Solvik-Olsen, presenting a comprehensive transport plan for the period 2018-2029. "The government is **w ensuring a safer and more reliable passage of the most dangerous and harsh waters for the transport of goods along the **rwegian coasts," he said in a statement. The **rth Sea is roughed up by fierce winds off the peninsula and many ships wait for storms to abate before continuing their journey. Even the Vikings, who were talented sailors, preferred to avoid the waters, instead transporting their boats by land. Tunnels for boats exist in other parts of the world such as the Canal du Midi in France, but the Stad tunnel will be the first to accommodate ships up to 16,000 tonnes for freight transport and passengers, including the iconic Bergen-Kirkenes Coastal Express, which connects the **rdic nation’s south and **rth. The project is estimated to cost 2.7 billion kroner. أكثر... ??????? ??????: **rway to build world?s first ship tunnel at sea || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
