Most countries only have the bigger E roads ( 2-3 lanes). Norway is mostly single lane roads. We also added the rv13 and the rv7 with some smaller challenging parts.
If you manage to fit hwy 11Denmark/B5 Germany, then I see no reason the Rv. 9 wouldn't fit.
The distance between the 11 and E45 in Denmark is pretty close.
I looked at it, I think it can be done but I'm not sure if we will have the time..

I didn't expect that for first release :o

I thought you were waiting with E134 for later releases? Thats when I was hoping it would be included.

Yes E134 is only included for a very short part (it's not linked from west to east at the moment). So coming from Stavanger heading to Oslo the only option is to go via Kristiansand.

Are you making the underwater tunnels as bridges? I would think making the underwater tunnels are too much work.

We got tunnels at spots where water could be above it. But nothing fancy with tunnels. Only some irl bridges.

No worries!

But I would admit it would be nice at a later point, maybe I should look into some editing myself :)
The ascents (up to 10%) in the tunnels are pretty challenging for trucks, even with lighter loads. And soon we will have the longest tunnel in the world, both over and under water, Rogfast.

That is an...interesting use of the word "soon" :lol:

Rogfast wont be completed until 2023 at the earliest. And they have decided not to allow 7% incline to Arsvågen and instead go for 5%, so they have to redesign that part. This will delay the project even further.

This is Norway, it takes two years to approve new pavement on highways. 10 years for that project is soon :)

Better than here in NL. It is taking them since the late 1960s to finish the A4 near Delft (west holland).

Still no plan on how to continue that motorway :mrgreen:

At least you have a motorway network.

Norway have around 400km of motorway, and pretty much all of them are toll roads.
Just driving Oslo-Kristiansand will cost you over 17/34€ in tolls. And that will probably double in the years to come as more stretches of motorway is built here.
