The Corkscrew - Korketrekkeren - Langangen, Norway. A piece of Norwegian road history. 4K video.

As the title suggests, this is a small piece of Norwegian road history. The topography in Norway has made road construction challenging throughout history. To get up steep mountains and down deep valleys, methods had to be found that made the climbs manageable for people, horses and carts. Therefore, in some places such corkscrew roads were built that made the gradient lower. The corkscrew at Langangen was formerly part of the main road between Oslo and Kristiansand and constituted a bottleneck on the road. Therefore, a new road and bridge were planned in the 1960s. But this was not completed until 1979.
A small part of the oldest road and a stone bridge from the 1790s still remains here, but it is unfortunately not presented in the video as I did not get any good shots of it.

Som tittelen antyder er dette en liten bit av norsk veihistorie. Topografien i Norge har gjort veibygging utfordrende gjennom historien. For å komme opp bratte fjell og ned dype daler måtte man finne metoder som gjorde stigningene overkommelige for folk, hester og vogner. Derfor ble det noen steder bygget slike korketrekker veier som gjorde stigningsgraden lavere. Korketrekkeren ved Langangen var tidligere en del av hovedveien mellom Oslo og Kristiansand og utgjorde en flaskehals på veien. Derfor ble det på 1960 tallet planlagt en ny vei og bro. Men dette ble ikke ferdig før i 1979.
Det står igjen en liten del av en den eldste veien og en steinbro her fra 1790 årene, men den er dessverre ikke presentert i videoen da jeg ikke fikk noen gode bilder av den.
Håper du liker videoen og vil trykke "liker" knappen. Ekstra hyggelig om du vil vurdere et abonnement også, da det hjelper kanalen veldig mye. 😃
