Spiralen

by Cristian_Uluru

Spiralen is a mountain tunnel in Bragernesåsen, opened in 1961 when Drammen celebrated its 150th anniversary. With six spirals, the tunnel goes through rocks ending at Breidablikk. The tunnel is 1650 metres long, 9 metres wide and originally had a height of 3.1 metres but it was extended later and today also large. The rise is from 20 to 213 metres above sea level and each spiral has a 70 metre diameter.
The city engineer Eivind Olsen gave the idea that the quarry, used ti provide road construction with materials, could be developed into a spiral tunnel up through Bragernesåsen and this work commenced in 1953 after 70,000 cubic metres of rock had been blasted off.

Bragernes Market

by Cristian_Uluru

Bragernes Market is the largest in Norway and also Drammen's “front parlour”. The square market was laid out in 1866 when a fire had reduced 388 buildings to ashes. There are some shopping facilities round the square and several restaurants. From the city bridge, you have a fine view of Drammen's well-known townscape including the market square, the tower buildings and the magnificent Bragernes Church from 1871.

Stock Exchange

One of the most beautiful old buildings that you can find in Drammen is the Old Stock Exchange. Today it is a McDonald, but inside you can imagine how beautiful it was in the past.
