Bispelokket

Bispelokket (literally "bishops lid") was a Norwegian three-level stack interchange roundabout in Bjørvika, Oslo.

Bispelokket gradually opened between 1966 and 1968, and was visited by at the most 140,000 vehicles a day until Bjørvikatunnelen was introduced as a complete tunnel system in 2010 and the amount declined to 40,000.

The physical demolition was launched by the Norwegian prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, November 4, 2011, at 1:46 pm.

[2] As a complex road intersection, Bispelokket was not recognized as an aesthetical suitable landmark in the cityline of Oslo.

As a part of the Fjord City urban renewal project, Bispelokket (including all its ramps and the Nylandsvegen bridge) was demolished in 2012 to make way for the redevelopment of the Bjørvika waterfront into a business and residential area.
