The Vallavik Tunnel (Norwegian: Vallaviktunnelen) is a road tunnel in Vestland county, Norway. The tunnel begins on the north edge of the village of Eide in the municipality of Voss and runs to the southeast, ending at the small farm of Vallaviki in the municipality of Ulvik. The tunnel is part of Norwegian National Road 13 and Norwegian County Road 7. The 7510m (24,640feet) tunnel was originally opened on 27 April 1985.[1]
In 2013, a roundabout and a 600m (2,000feet) long branch were added near the southern end of the tunnel to connect with the newly constructed Hardanger Bridge. The branch passes directly over the older Djønno Tunnel.[2] [3]
