The yelow streach represent the area where our road will find its way to complete the cirkle.
The Raet is one of manny leftower from the ice age, it crosses from north of Drbak across Hurum over Svelvik, and then the walley of Sande. Today quarries are the wisible parts of this, and the rest is under argicultural use or are woods.
Conseptdrawing of the regional road throu the woods of Hurum. The windmills will be a linear experience howering over the tops of the wood, marking the streach and singing steadely in the pressence of cars.
Road
The thicknes of the linje represent the amount of traffic that uses the road at a daily basis. The coloring refer to the glowing of heated iron - white is the hotest.
Tunels ideas
Sande-Ryggen
A old map of Ryggen and Svelvik. The querry of today have remowed half of the landform. Its like digging out a landscapes nose, removing it all.
Consept of road
Over and through the topography, climbing, digging, and roundabouts.
I will argue that the possible future amount of cars and the high standard of a nice flowing road in this assignment wil be answered best in a 4 lane road, with a barrier between. The barrier makes head on crashes unexciting. The space and the flow will be best by letting the lines and the view consider it as a big regional road as a start. The tunnels have anyway been double, and the bridges should be 4 lanes from the start so they dont stop the flow of traffic. The rest might be built in two steps, 2 lanes first, and then 2 extras later on.
Consept of roundabout, wich let the traffic flow nicely in the road itself. Ramps go up or down to the roundabout.
Below: A photomontage of the bridgespan and viaduct of Svelvik. The Viaduct is marking the old terreng of Ryggen.
Sande

The walley of Sande streches nearly all the way up to Drammen. Several rivers is running in the botom, and strong flows of winds go in the direction of the walley. The animal life at the seafornt is rich, and the botom ofthe walley is used for argiculture. Cause of quiqlay and the old argiculture area north of the senter, the road is south of it. Pointet on high pilars it let the walley breath, and take a magnificent wiev of the gulf on the way.
