Editing Tysfjord Municipality (section)

==Transport==
Tysfjord was the only location in Norway where the [[European route E6]] highway depended on a car [[ferry]]. There are ferry connections from Bognes to [[Skarberget]] (route E6) and from Bognes to [[Lødingen (village)|Lødingen]] (connecting to route [[European route E10]] and [[Lofoten]]). There is also a ferry connecting [[Drag, Norway|Drag]] south of the fjord with [[Kjøpsvik]] on the northern shore. Kjøpsvik is connected to the E6 highway and [[Narvik (town)|Narvik]] by [[Norwegian National Road 827]], with no ferry crossings. This might be an alternative to route E6, and is also the route of choice to get close to the mountain Stetinden. If Tysfjord experiences bad weather and the ferry connections are shut down, Norway is cut in two road-wise. A road connection is still maintained, albeit through Sweden, which makes it a very long drive.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Eriksen Guttormsen |first=Marius |date=2022-07-31 |title=Over 200 innstilte ferger: Vil utrede fergefri E6 |url=https://www.nrk.no/emne/fergefri-e6-1.12264251 |work=NRK Nordland |language=no}}</ref>

The closest airport is [[Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes|Evenes]]. There was also a [[Narvik Airport, Framnes|small airport]] in Narvik.
