About Oslo Tunnel

The Oslo Tunnel is an important rail link in the Norwegian capital, connecting the western and eastern rail lines. The 3,635-meter-long, double-track line runs underground from Oslo S to Skøyen. A special feature is the underground station at the National Theatre, which has four tracks and was opened in its expanded form by King Harald V in 1999. Along part of the route, the tunnel shares space with the metro, which runs on a second level above the railway tracks. Construction was approved in 1968 and not completed until 1980, with the aim of bridging the previously separate terminal stations and making traffic flow more smoothly.
