Norway may build the world's first tunnel for ships
Stretching over 15 miles, Norway's Lærdal Tunnel has been the longest road tunnel in the world since it was built in the 1990s.
Now, the country is trying to construct the world's first tunnel for ships — which would see between 70 and 120 vessels per day.
As noted by BBC News, the tunnel started gaining public support in the 1980s, and the Norwegian Coastal Administration (NCA) has since embarked on several feasibility studies to see how it could be realized.
Terje Andreassen, the tunnel's project manager, tells Business Insider that the NCA will submit its findings to Norway's Department of Transport in May 2017.
