Fjellinjen AS is a municipal company owned by the City of Oslo (60%) and Akershus County Municipality (40%). It is responsible for the collection from the toll ring around Oslo, with a total of nineteen toll plazas.
History
The company was created on 13 February 1986 to finance the 1,800 metre Festning Tunnel on E18 through Oslo, that was completed in 1990. On 8 June 1988, the Norwegian Parliament granted permission for further collection through Oslo Package 1, a program to expand parts of the highways in the capital. Following this, Akershus County Municipality bought 40% of the company in 1990. Financing was partially to come through a toll ring around the city. From 1 November 2001, Fjellinjen was also to collect money for Oslo Package 2 that is financing several expansions to the public transport around Oslo. From 1 January 2008 to the latest 31 December 2012 the ring and Fjellinjen will finance the Bjørvika Tunnel as well. Starting in 2008, Oslo Package 3 will also be financed through the company.
