Winding Roads

Soon you will be able to see a road on the steep mountainside. Construction of the road began in 1954, but it was never finished. The planners had good intentions that finally the villages of FlĂĄm, Undredal and Gudvangen would have a permanent road connection, and that this stretch of road would become a part of the intended road between Oslo and Bergen. But as you can see, the hilly terrain and the massive vertical rock faces are not conducive to road building. Nevertheless, work teams set to work with hand tools and put in place several good solid road foundations that you can see. They managed to build 600 metres of road, before a tragic accident put a stop to the work. Later, but not until 1988, Undredal did get a permanent road with tunnels connecting it to FlĂĄm and Gudvangen.
