One of the most important road and ferry connections today with a high volume of traffic is the connection between Lavik and Oppedal in western Sogn. This is the E-39, the main highway between Kristiansand and Ålesund, also called the Coastal Highway. The connection to the neighbouring county in the south, Hordaland, had a rough start. The road connection between Hordaland and Sogn to Brekke on the south side of the Sognefjord was not considered important and relevant enough by the county council.
