Review
  • No DABs or deadlinks
  • References check out for proper and consistent style.
  • The section from Stord to Sveio, including the Stord Bridge and the Bømlafjord Tunnel, is part of E39—the Coastal Highway which runs along the west coast of Norway. Why is coastal highway capitalized?
  • The tunnel has three lanes, one downwards and two upwards This could use some clarification, I don't know what you mean by "one downwards" and "two upwards". One lane going to Sevio and two to Føyno or the other way around?
  • It is 1,077 meters (3,533 ft) long and has a main span of 677 meters (2,221 ft). 1. Span could link to Span (architecture). 2. I have read our Span (architecture) article and I don't know what the span is, some explanation here would be nice. Is the span the distance between beams?
    • The span is the distance between two supporting columns. I've linked span in the lead (first mention) and explained it very briefly in the body. If the reader doesn't understand span they probably don't know what a pylon is either, so I added an "aka" as well. Arsenikk (talk) 20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • The bridge has two 105-meter (344 ft) tall pylons, one foundationed on Brunsholmen and one on Spissøy. The bridge... "The bridge" starting two sentences consecutively is repetitive.
  • Any more information on the Spissøy Bridge would be appreciated since it only gets one sentence here.
    • There isn't much to say about the bridge, that type are a dime a dozen. The price is mentioned in the "construction" section, otherwise the book and other sources don't say much more about it. Arsenikk (talk) 20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
  • In Bømlo, there was built a new road across the islands of Spissøy and Nautøy—... suggested change to In Bømlo, there was a new road built across the islands of Spissøy and Nautøy—... for better flow of the text.
  • However, local traffic from Føyno to Bømlo do not have to pay. what is "local traffic"?
  • The following week, Sveio Municipal Council voted in favor the Triangle Link, without debate this is ambiguous, was there debate and no one dissented or was there no actual debate?
  • ... proposed that the project be considered outside the normal road plans. What is meant by "outside the normal plans"?
