Rogfast

Rogfast (from "Rogaland fast forbindelse", "Rogaland fixed connection") is a planned sub-sea northward tunnel between Randaberg near Stavanger and Bokn in Rogaland, Norway.

The tunnel is planned as a 25 km connection below the Boknafjord and Kvitsøfjord. A connection to Kvitsøy will be added. The project will be a world record with respect to length and maximum depth (380 m below sea level). The cost of the project is assumed to be around 500-600 million . The project is currently, as of July 2010, being resolved by the Norwegian parliament.

Seismic survey and core sample drilling is scheduled to start late summer/early fall of 2010.

This will be a part of the main road on the link Oslo - Kristiansand - Sandnes - Stavanger - Haugesund - Bergen.
