A municipal sector plan with impact assessment shall be prepared. The objective of the contract is to provide a formal basis for the new E39 section between Julbøen and the east centre of Molde. The connection to the existing E39 is intended to be at Bolsønes (Felleskjøpet). The requirement for a new E39 on the section is a result of the Norwegian Government's decision that the Romsdal Fjord shall be crossed by a tunnel and a suspension bridge between Vik in Vestnes municipality and Julbøen in Molde municipality.
