history
The Kiruna – Narvik section was not built until the early 1980s and in the Swedish part runs largely parallel to the ore railway that went into operation in 1903 . In 1984 this section was made by the Norwegian King Olav V and the Swedish King Carl XVI. Gustaf inaugurated. In the Norwegian part, the E 10 is now called "Kong Olav Vs vei".
On December 1, 2007, the Lofast , a new section between Fiskebøl on Austvågøya and Gullesfjord on Hinnøya, opened. This is 51 km long and shortens the E 10 by 30 kilometers. This means that the ferry crossing between Melbu and Fiskebøl is no longer necessary to reach Lofoten from the north.
Today's E 10 has only had this name since 1992. Before that, the Norwegian section Å – Bjerkvik (Bjerkvik is north of Narvik on the E 6) was designated as “Riksvei 19”, the section to the Swedish border (Bjørnfjellvegen) completed in 1984 as “Riksvei 70 ”and the Swedish section Riksgränsen –Töre as“ Riksväg 98 ”.
Before 1985, E 10 was the name for the Paris - Brussels - Amsterdam - Groningen route .
