		Freeman was succeeded by Ole Singstad, who ultimately saw the tunnel to completion.
		Singstad is credited for the tunnel's revolutionary ventilation system.
		After an estimated 2,000 tests to determine the amount of exhaust gases that would be produced by vehicles traveling through the tunnel and the ultimate effect on drivers, the engineering team developed an automatic two-duct system, which uses one duct to pull in fresh air and the other to dispel exhaust.

		In Ole RynningÕs Emigrant Song of 1837 is the poignant epitome of the problem and the story of the Norwegian who sailed across the north Atlantic to build a new life:
