Liatind tunnel (Liatindtunnelen) finally got the approval from the Vegdirektoratet (Norwegian Public Roads Administration) and finally open.
It was supposed to be completed in 2019, but subcontractors going bankrupt etc caused the delay and apparently unsatisfactory result for Vegdirektoratet to the much embarrassment for the contractors...
Starting from Friday afternoon, road users can use the 2 km long Liatind tunnel on county road 17 on Helgeland.
