 They made the road from Øravík to Trøllavík (near Tjaldavík), but stopped in 1953.The work had also started on the other side of the mountains, in Hov, but there too they made little progress, and when the work there also stopped in 1953 they had only made it a short way from the village.Three years later they started to work again on both sides of the Øravík-Hov road.
