Norwegian County Road 55
County Road 55 is a highway which runs between Lom Municipality and Høyanger Municipality in Norway. The section across Sognefjellet, known as Sognefjellsvegen, is designated a National Tourist Route. Also a short section from Balestrand to Norwegian County Road 613 is also a National Tourist Route over Gaularfjellet. The road reaches the highest elevation on the public road network in Norway,, and it is closed every winter.
Prior to 2010, the road was part of National Road 55. The road has importance as part of the shortest route between Trondheim and Bergen,, including a ferry. Usually a faster route is used, like those including Road 51, road 15, or European route E39. Local politicians lobby for two tunnels under the mountains, totalling around. This would create a winter open and ferry free road between Trondheim and Bergen much shorter than present alternatives.
