County Road 55 is a 248.1-kilometer-long highway which runs between the municipalities of Lom and Høyanger in Norway. The 108-kilometer section across Sognefjellet, known as Sognefjellsvegen, is designated a National Tourist Route. Also a short section at Balestrand is a National Tourist Route. The road reaches the highest elevation on the public road network in Norway, 1,434 meters , and it is closed every winter.
Prior to 2010, the road was part of National Road 55 . The road has importance as part of the shortest route between Trondheim and Bergen, 636 kilometers , including a ferry. Usually a faster route is used, like those including Road 51 , road 15 , or European route E39 . Local politicians lobby for two tunnels under the mountains, totalling around 50 kilometers . This would create a winter open and ferry free road between Trondheim and Bergen much shorter than present alternatives.
