Fana - Transport

Transport

European route E39 passes through Fana. Between the border with Årstad north of Fjøsanger and Hop, E39 is the 4-lane dual carriage road Fritz C. Riebers veg. At Hop, E39 branches off from the 4-lane road and passes through two tunnels to Nesttun, wherefrom it continues south-westwards through Valla and Kaland before entering Os. From Hop, Fritz C. Riebers veg continues southwards as Rv 580 to Lagunen Storsenter. Eastwards, Rv 580 follows E39 to Nesttun, where it branches off and runs through Haukeland and Espeland to Indre Arna in Arna borough.

Prior to the construction of Fritz C. Riebers veg, the main road between central Bergen and Fana had been Rv 582, which passes through Storetveit, Paradis, Hop, Nesttun and Skjold from Årstad borough to Lagunen Storsenter. Other significant roads include Rv 546 from Lagunen Storsenter through Fanahammeren to Krokvåg, Rv 585 from Landås in Årstad through Nattland to Paradis, Fv 163 over Fanafjellet to Nordvik, and Fv 183 past Bjøllebotn to Myrdal.

Due to the insufficient standard of E39, the main road between Bergen and Os and Stavanger, plans have been prepared for a new 4-lane road southwards from Bergen. The new road, which will branch off from Fritz C. Riebers veg north of Lagunen, will be funded partly by toll revenue.

As elsewhere in Bergen, the bus service in Fana is operated by Tide.
