 The traffic was characterized by a high portion of rush-hour traffic between Røyken and Oslo, and a more even traffic through the day from Røyken to Drammen.The compromise was selected, whereby the from Asker to Spikkestad Station was kept and named the Spikkestad Line, while the remaining were closed on the same day the Lieråsen Tunnel opened.A short-coming in the tunnel's design was the lack of any lighting, emergency exits or water deviation.
