Plans for a second light rail line in the Norwegian city of Bergen were approved by the city council on June 21. The 10.8 km line from Kaigaten in the city centre to Fyllingsdalen in the south will add nine stations to the network, with a journey time of around 19 minutes between the termini.

The line is divided into three sections. The northern section from Lungegårdkaien to Kronstad is 2.2km long and includes a 1.4km tunnel with an underground station serving Haukeland hospital. The new line will intersect with Line 1 at Kronstad, where there will be a connection between the two lines.

Section 2 will link Kronstad with Kanalveien and Kristianborg, while Section 3 will extend the line to Spelhaugen in Fyllingsdalen via a 2.9km tunnel under the Løkstatten mountain.

The project is expected to cost NKr 6.2bn ($US 730m) and construction will begin next year, with the first trams running to Fyllingsdalen in 2022.
