#Norway is about to open the world's longest purpose-built bicycle and pedestrian tunnel in Bergen.

It's 2.8 km (1.7 miles) long, and filled with art...

It was conceived as an "escape tunnel" for an adjoining tunnel that carries light rail. Then somebody thought, why not open it to non-automobile traffic?

Takes 10 minutes to ride, 35 or so to walk.

Bergen's pedestrian and bike tunnel is now open to the public.

@straphanger That is... Incredibly sensible. I wonder if they could do the same for the Chunnel?
