Norwegian County Road 615 (Bokmål: Fylkesvei 615; Nynorsk: Fylkesveg 615), often abbreviated Fv 615, is a county road in Vestland county, Norway. The road runs along the east side of Hyefjorden in Gloppen Municipality, connecting the area near Sandane to Storebru. It features multiple tunnels constructed to reduce avalanche risk.[1]

Conditions and public feedback

In a national survey conducted by NRK, Fv 615 was ranked the second worst county road in Norway, following a section of the E16 between Bergen and Voss. Local residents and drivers have criticized the road for being narrow, outdated, and frequently closed due to severe weather and maintenance issues.[2]

Maintenance and development

Portions of the road, particularly between Storebru and Solheim, are under review for future improvements. A public tender was issued in 2025 by Vestland county for repair and safety upgrades.[3]
