Lan Marie Berg: The Storting tunnel project for the E6 in Oslo is a “declaration of war”

– It is a declaration of war against Oslo’s goal of becoming a zero-emission city, Lan Marie Berg tells NRK.

– We are working hard to get more people to bike, walk and ride public transport. At the same time, the government is moving up the highways, he adds.

Bård Hoksrud (Frp) in the Storting Committee for Transport and Communications reacts strongly to Berg’s proposal. It stands out that it is about placing an existing road section in a tunnel.

– It is incredible that a party that claims to be concerned about the environment is against this project, Hoksrud tells NTB.

– It is about making the road underground, reducing pollution by emissions, particles and noise for the thousands of people who live in the area, he adds.

Hoksrud emphasizes that businesses and the business community in East Oslo depend on leadership and that Oslo politicians must adhere to the plans already made in Oslo Package 3.

– FRP is happy that the government and the state have the opportunity to monitor this case, he says.
