As of 2007[update] a road from Ila via Brattøra to Lademoen, named Nordre Avlastningsvei, is under construction with plans to be finished in 2009 while an extension of E6 between the airport and to Kvithamar north of Stjørdal is in the start phase.
Projects still not started include putting Osloveien in Byåsen in a tunnel, a new Sluppen Bridge and a four-lane motorway between Tonstad to Klett.
To be considered a road pricing in accordance to Norwegian law, the scheme must be organised such as to charge most when the congestion is largest, i.e. in rush hour.
The system was initially introduced to fund the building of new ring roads so that the heaviest traffic would not have to pass through the city centre.
The lack of a bypass outside the residential areas, along with less than optimal railroad capacity, contributes heavily to road congestion through Trondheim Municipality.
Some daily commuters felt the extra cost was unjustifiable, but most drivers were quite happy to pay in order to get some of the heaviest traffic out of the city centre.
