Here is the latest TU article on the subject: http://www.tu.no/industri/2015/08/26...tus-akkurat-na

Its ups and downs in the prospects for Stadt Tunnel ever being finalized: http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/02/29...n-12216297.ece

Simulator sailing through the tunnel will be done this summer (in Copenhagen): http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/04/20...l-12629312.ece

The obvious question raised is; why in Copenhagen when one of the most advanced simulators in the world is right here in Aalesund?? (So is Kystverket)

The test in Denmark was positive: http://www.smp.no/nyheter/2016/06/02...l-12824292.ece

And here is an amateur video from the test: http://www.smp.no/video/article12824400.ece

Unfortunately it appears you have to be a subscriber to view that article. I did get an offer to subscribe for $49 a month though.

Ooops, I keep in forgetting to check if it is a + article.
BTW it s NOK 49/mth. not $$. I'll see if I can find it somewhere else.

Interesting. It's almost like the Saga up here in Trondheim, where they want to build a bridge across the fjord for x billion NOK's.

Quite recently, as in a few days ago, someone also concluded that the bridge would be 22 billion NOK's more expensive than initially anticipated, and that toll fees would also destroy any potential growth in traffic.
