This project is part of the development of a new 5.1 kilometre long section of the E16 between Wøyen and Bjørum in Bærum outside Oslo. It involves the construction of a new four-lane road about 3.9 kilometres in length. The contract also includes two double-bore tunnels, the 1,100 metre long Brenne Tunnel and the 1,400 metre long Berghoff Tunnel, and a total of 1,420 metres of slip roads and 2,440 metres of local roads.

The project will entail, among other things, blasting and excavating 116,000 cubic metres of rock above ground and 340,000 cubic metres in the tunnels and casting 90,000 square metres of concrete vaults inside the tunnels.

Work will commence just after the new year and be completed by 31 December 2007. The construction consultants for the project are Reinertsen Engineering AS.
