Fjellinjen AS is a municipal company owned by the City of Oslo (60%) and Akershus county municipality (40%). It is responsible for the collection from the toll ring around Oslo, with a total of nineteen toll plazas.

History

The company was created on February 13, 1986 to finance the 1,800 metre Festningstunnelen on E18 through Oslo, that was completed in 1990. On June 8, 1988 the Storting granted permission for further collection through "Oslopakke 1", a program to expand parts of the highways in the capital. Following this, Akershus county municipality bought 40% of the company in 1990. Financing was partially to come through a toll ring around the city. From November 1, 2001 Fjellinjen was also to collect money for "Oslopakke 2" that is financing several expansions to the public transport around Oslo. From January 1, 2008 to the latest December 31, 2012 the ring and Fjellinjen will finance Bjørvikatunnelen as well.
