Atlantic Ocean Road Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

cervisvenator: Hi

While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for the cache owner and block other cachers from placing a cache in the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time, we can’t do so forever.

Nothing seems to happen with this cache listing, so it is now archived, so that someone else can place a cache in the area, and geocachers can once again enjoy visiting this location. Also, if it hasn’t been done already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

If the owner wants it reopened, send me an e-mail and I’ll be happy to unarchive the cache listing if it still satisfies the requirement/guidelines.

(This reviewer note is in English so non-Norwegian cache owners, geocachers and cache reviewers can understand what it says.)

Thanks for your understanding,
Cervis Venator

Atlanterhavsveien / Atlantic Ocean Road - GC2WW6D

Norsk;
Atlanterhavsveien
er et veistykke på fylkesvei 64 på Nordmøre i Møre og Romsdal. Veien er 8274 meter lang og går fra Vevang i Eide til Kårvåg i Averøy og avløste 7. juli 1989 fergesambandet mellom Ørjavik og Tøvik i de to kommunene. Anlegget består blant annet av åtte broer på til sammen 891 meter og går over en hel del holmer og skjær. Veien kostet 122 millioner 1989-kroner og var delvis bompengefinansiert. Bommen ble fjernet i juni 1999.

Traseen veien følger ble opprinnelig planlagt for jernbane tidlig på 1900-tallet, men den ideen ble skrinlagt for godt i 1935. Planlegging av veistrekningen kom i gang på 1970-tallet. Byggingen startet 1. august 1983.

Atlanterhavsveien er landets åttende best besøkte naturbaserte turistattraksjon (2004) med 283 500 besøkende. Veistrekningen er foreslått til nasjonal turistvei, og er også foreslått vernet i Nasjonal verneplan for veger, bruer og vegrelaterte kulturminner.

I september 2005 ble Atlanterhavsveien kåret til Århundrets byggverk 1905–2005. Den har også blitt kåret til verdens fineste bilvei av den britiske avisen The Guardian.

English;
Atlantic Ocean Road
is a 8.3-kilometre (5.2 mi) long part of County Road 64 which stretches an archipelago in Eide and Averøy in Møre og Romsdal, Norway. Located at the northern part of the coastal area of Hustadvika, it connects the villages of Kårvåg on Averøy with Vevang in Eide on the Romsdal peninsula on the mainland. The road is one alternative connecting the towns of Kristiansund and Molde, via the Atlantic Ocean Tunnel. The inland connection between those two cities is the Krifast bridge/tunnel system.

Construction work on the Atlantic Ocean Road started on 1 August 1983, with the opening taking place on 7 July 1989. During this period there were no less than 12 hurricane-like storms in the area. The road is built on several small islands and skerries, and is spanned by eight bridges and several causeways/viaducts.

This road has an open sea view which is not so common for roads along the Norwegian coast, since there are archipelagos that obscures this view. Here the distance between the islands is so small that a road could be built across the archipelago. In addition there are fjords and mountains inside the road. The spectacular road quickly became a popular tourist attraction to the extent that caution must be shown when driving it, as both the local population and visitors frequently use the road to go fishing for cod and other saltwater fish directly from the roadside.

The Atlantic Ocean Road was voted the "Norwegian Construction of the Century" on 27 September 2005,[2] and is currently Norway's second most visited scenic road after Trollstigen, also in Møre og Romsdal. The Atlantic Ocean Road's sharp turns and wild nature have ranked it first on The Guardian's list of the world's best road trips, in sharp competition with world renowned attractions such as Northern Ireland's Antrim coast road and the Himalayas.
