 * I will review this article shortly. Albacore (talk) 15:20, 26 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Review:
 * File:Hordaland(1979).jpg and File:MF Bjørnefjord (1986).jpg need information templates at the Commons. Not required but File:Trekantsambandet.jpg could use a description in English.
 * Well beyond the GA criteria, but I can have a look at it. The first two images I haven't had anything to do with, while the latter is my own and I guess I should have added an English description. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * No DABs or deadlinks


 * References check out for proper and consistent style.


 * The section form Sveio to Stord is part of form is from?
 * Fixed. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The section from Stord to Sveio, including the Stord Bridge and the Bømlafjord Tunnel, is part of E39—the Coastal Highway which runs along the west coast of Norway. Why is coastal highway capitalized?
 * Because the E39 is also named the "Coastal Highway" (Kystriksveien). I have rearranged the punctuation a bit to make it a bit more clear. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The tunnel has three lanes, one downwards and two upwards This could use some clarification, I don't know what you mean by "one downwards" and "two upwards". One lane going to Sevio and two to Føyno or the other way around?
 * I've rephrased to "downhill" and "uphill" and added a short comment. Which direction has two lanes depends on where in the tunnel one is. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It is 1,077 meters (3,533 ft) long and has a main span of 677 meters (2,221 ft). 1. Span could link to Span (architecture). 2. I have read our Span (architecture) article and I don't know what the span is, some explanation here would be nice. Is the span the distance between beams?
 * The span is the distance between two supporting columns. I've linked span in the lead (first mention) and explained it very briefly in the body. If the reader doesn't understand span they probably don't know what a pylon is either, so I added an "aka" as well. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The bridge has two 105-meter (344 ft) tall pylons, one foundationed on Brunsholmen and one on Spissøy. The bridge... "The bridge" starting two sentences consecutively is repetitive.
 * There is a sentence in between, but I guess it is better to not start three consecutive sentences with "the". Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Any more information on the Spissøy Bridge would be appreciated since it only gets one sentence here.
 * There isn't much to say about the bridge, that type are a dime a dozen. The price is mentioned in the "construction" section, otherwise the book and other sources don't say much more about it. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * In Bømlo, there was built a new road across the islands of Spissøy and Nautøy—... suggested change to In Bømlo, there was a new road built across the islands of Spissøy and Nautøy—... for better flow of the text.
 * Good idea. Arsenikk (talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * However, local traffic from Føyno to Bømlo do not have to pay. what is "local traffic"?
 * Perhaps a rather Norwegianized term, but my dictionary says it exists in English. I've rephrased to make it less ambiguous. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * The plaza is constructed as a grade-separated intersection what is a "grade-separated intersection"?
 * The article links to grade separation, which explains the concept well. I've added two-level, which is not a good term but might help the reader a bit. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * However, local traffic from Føyno to Bømlo do not have to pay. should "do" be "does" here? I'm unsure, I would appreciate an explanation.
 * Does would be better, I agree. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)


 * To illustrate their point, one ship-owner... Unhyphenate ship-owner.
 * My dictionary actually says that it is a single word, so I changed to "shipowner". <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  20:52, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

 * The following week, Sveio Municipal Council voted in favor the Triangle Link, without debate this is ambiguous, was there debate and no one dissented or was there no actual debate?
 * No actual debate, no dissent. Clarified. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  21:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Yep. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  21:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)


 * ... proposed that the project be considered outside the normal road plans. What is meant by "outside the normal plans"?
 * changed to "proposed that the project be considered independent of the regular national road plans" which I hope reads better. <strong style="color:green;">Arsenikk <sup style="color:grey;">(talk)  21:04, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
