There is more news regarding the notorious Øksfjord tunnel. The world's worst tunnel is to undergo some more renovations just months after 40 million kroner was spent on what was meant to be substantial improvements. The lighting remains inadequate and due to the substandard materials used, the ice, snow and cold transform the tunnel into a four kilometre, nail biting nightmare for anyone who dares to drive through it in winter.

The next installment of improvements will cost more money and cause night closures, similar to what the locals of Øksfjord endured nearly all of last year. For a somewhat isolated community, the closures will mean even more inconvenience when catching planes, or making appointments in the 'Big City Alta'.
