Since the former road around Liafjellet had been exposed to landslides, PNC Norge AS built a completely new road through Liafjellet on behalf of Nordland County Municipality. The project included about
1900m tunnel works through Liafjell, about 400m tunnel works through Bakliholt as well as a landfill and bridge over Olvikvatnet. In total, the project stretched 5.5km.
1900m tunnel works were done during the three years of the project.
