THIS IS NOT A HOLE. IT’S A WARNING.
A MASSIVE, state-funded tunnel has been BLASTED through a Norwegian mountain, and officials are bragging about it as a modern marvel for cyclists and pedestrians. But look closer. This three-kilometer, windowless tube—costing a shocking $29 MILLION of taxpayer money—reveals a terrifying new blueprint for urban life.
They call it “state of the art.” Inside, blue rubber floors and artificial “sundials” try to mimic a world these users will never see. Officials admit the sun “definitely will never shine” inside this concrete artery. It’s a perfect, straight line from point A to point B, with no view, no sky, and no escape except the ends. This is the future they’re selling you: efficient, controlled, and utterly submerged.
Why does this exist? It was built as a BYPRODUCT of a tram line’s evacuation tunnel. Your public space is now an afterthought, a multipurpose utility corridor. While they pitch this as a record-breaking feat, the real pattern is clear: major projects are no longer designed for human joy or connection to nature, but for function and risk mitigation. Who benefits? The rail companies and contractors who build these mega-projects, while city officials cheerlead the “innovation.” The picturesque, UNESCO-protected city above is now hollowed out below.
They are literally putting human activity underground and calling it progress. They are selling you a cage and calling it freedom.
Remember the sun, because soon you might need an art installation to remind you what it looks like.
