The Gásadalur Tunnel, Gásadalstunnilin, is a 1.4 kilometer long,[1] single-lane tunnel in the west of the Faroe Islands. It connects the villages Bøur in the east with Gásadalur in the west, which are separated by the Knúkarnir mountain.[2]
The tunnel was initially open to pedestrians in 2003 but it was not until 2006[3] that it was officially open and available to vehicles.
