Streets in Oslo - Ring 3 (Oslo)

Ring 3 (Oslo)

The Ring 3 or Norwegian national road 150 (formerly known as Store Ringvei) is a major highway in Oslo, Norway. The numerous pre-existing roads orbiting the most densely populated areas of Oslo now have become a beltway limited-access road from its starting point at Ryen, through the Sinsen Interchange, and to Lysaker in Bærum.

The Sinsen interchange, where Ring 3 meets Trondheimsveien was opened in 1962. The increase in traffic was greater than the capacity of the junction, and thus a bridge was constructed that redirected Trondheimsveien above the roundabout.

Further restructuring was done in 1992, when a local tramway line was redirected outside of the interchange, and in 1994, when Riksvei 150 was directed below the roundabout. The Norwegian Public Roads Administration plans to connect the Løren tunnel, a planned tunnel over Riksvei 150, with the Sinsen interchange in late 2008.

The highway is subdivided into parts with separate names (from Ryen to Lysaker):

• Adolf Hedins vei
• Hjalmar Brantings vei
• Dag Hammarskjølds vei
• Storoveien
• Rolf Wickstrøms vei
• Tåsen Tunnel
• Kaj Munks vei
• Torgny Segerstedts vei
• Viggo Hansteens vei
• Ullernchausséen
• Granfoss Tunnel (Snarøyveien).
