SiÅs has built a lot this last year with our hard, borrowed cash. New plank cladding in Eplehagen, all of Skogvegen and the new Pentagon tunnel – everybody benefits. The point of the tunnel is not beautiful architecture, but to protect the building masses against water being canalized from icicles along the bridge towards the buildings. The exquisite looks are merely a bonus, delivered by Moen from Dyrø & Moen. The article could have ended here, but please participate in this discussion with me if you dare.
Ås´ longest tunnel!?
To the experienced pedantic person, this is obviously Ås´ longest tunnel. Surely many will point out that there are longer tunnels in Ås, even Vikens second longest tunnel, Nordbytunellen, lies in Ås. But that is without considering that this is also Frogn´s tunnel. Sharing tunnels is a common denominator amongst Ås´ tunnels, and a shared tunnel surely does not count.
Delt tunnel
The Pentagon tunnel splits up, one wing towards Krona, one branches of to Verket and one towards the outside. Ergo it is a shared tunnel, and last section confirms these are disqualified. This is unnecessary nitpicking and wordplay. A split tunnel is different from a shared tunnel. I can stubbornly agree that a split tunnel can be called ambivalent and insecure in where it is going. This disqualifies nothing, you are still a student even if renewable energy was not right for you and you now have now clue where your life is going. A split tunnel is not equivalent to a shared tunnel.
The railway underpass, you say?
Ha! Ridiculous, you said it yourself. It is an underpass, and this discussion will be your downfall. You cannot defeat me!
The basis is wrong, it isn’t even a “tunnell”!
Either are you an adept construction student or you’ve just googled it and found out tunnel can be written in two different ways in Norwegian. Then you are also aware that bridges and tunnels often can replace each other, and this is a clear example of the bridge being gone. The feeling of strolling across the bridge, enjoy the view of the field and feel small between the two wooden blocks is suddenly lost, and what remains is a tunnel.
