Sinsen
Sinsen is a mixed residential and commercial area in Grünerløkka borough of Oslo, Norway. The westernmost part of Sinsen is part of the borough Nordre Aker. The Sinsen Interchange, located on the border between the boroughs of Nordre Aker, Grünerløkka and Bjerke, was the first roundabout in Norway. It has since developed into a multi-lever intersection, with both Ring 3, National Road 4 and the Sinsen Line of the Oslo Tramway routes around. "North of the Sinsen Interchange" is common expression in the Norwegian district debates, where inhabitants of Oslo are accused of being ignorant of the country north of the interchange. The expression cropped up in revues during the 1960s, and is probably due to that Sinsen then was the end point for the main road leading into Oslo from the north. The area is served by the Sinsen Line of the Oslo Tramway. The Oslo T-bane serves the neighborhood at Sinsen Station, while the Gjøvik Line serves the area at Grefsen Station. The nam ...

Granfoss Tunnel
The Granfoss Tunnel is a set of two tunnels on Ring 3 in Oslo, Norway. The two tunnels are long and they are part of the Granfoss Line, a stretch of motorway which was opened in 1992 connecting Ring 3 with the European route E18.
