The Norwegian Public Roads Administration (NPRA) is responsible for developing Norwegian Scenic Routes as an Scenic Routes Section, with their main office at Lillehammer.

In order to ensure high quality in the management of Scenic Route, the NPRA has attached a Quality Council. The Quality Council holds the superordinate responsibility and advises the Scenic Route Section on matters of professional guidelines for their efforts. The Quality Council was dissolved in 2016 and will be replaced by a new external expert council.

An Architecture Council ensures high visual quality of scenic viewpoints and picnic areas along the routes. Members of the Architecture Council include an architect, a landscape architect, and a visual artist. An arts curator has also been appointed to ensure that internationally valuable works of art are part of the Norwegian Scenic Route experience.
