The new limited-access road to Orkdal Municipality, a part of European route E39, was completed on 30 June 2005, shortening the driving time between Trondheim and Orkanger with some 15 minutes, adding Orkdal to the region.
Although rarer, there is also some commuting from Rennebu Municipality, Levanger Municipality, and Frosta Municipality.
