The sub-sea tunnels links a large part of the Faroe Islands together.
Vágatunnilin, which is 4,9 km long, links the central island Streymoy and the western island Vágur (airport) together. Opened for traffic in december 10th. 2002.
Norðoyatunnilin, which is 6,2 km long, links the easter island Eysturoy and the northern island Borðoy together. Opened for traffic in april 29th. 2006.
Eysturoyartunnilin which is 11,4 km long, links Streymoy and Eysturoy. Coming to the sub-sea roundabout, you can drive to Strendur or Runavík. Total length of the tunnil is 11,4 km. The length of the tunnil from the roundabout to the tunnilentrance in Tórshavn is 7,5 km. to Runavík 2,2 km. and to Strendur 1,7 km. The tunnel opened in desember 19th. 2020.
Sandoyartunnilin, will open late 2023, links Streymoy and Sandoy. The tunnel is 10,8 km long.
The Sandoy tunnel will surface in Traðardalur between the villages of Skopun and Sandur, and on the island of Streymoy it will surface in Gamlarætt. The travel distance between Streymoy and Sandoy will be shortened significantly, however the biggest advantage will be the fact that people can travel to and from the island at any time during the day.
Geological surveys have been conducted and project planning will begin in autumn of 2016. Bids for the work of constructing the Sandoy tunnel will be accepted at the same time as bids for the Eysturoy tunnel. According to schedule, the work of constructing the Sandoy tunnel will begin no later than 2018.
The project, in 2014, the Faroese Parliament unanimously agreed to begin work to construct subsea tunnels between the islands of Streymoy and Eysturoy and between Streymoy and Sandoy.
The company will start with the construction of the Eysturoy tunnel. Preparations for the Sandoy tunnel continues, and drilling for the Sandoy tunnel will commence when drilling for the Eysturoy tunnel has completed. According to schedule, work on the Sandoy tunnel will commence no later than in 2018.
This is the biggest infrastructure expansion on the Faroe Islands ever. A publicly-held limited company is in charge of the project, whose purpose is to construct the tunnel and roads, in addition to maintaining operations and to maintain operations of the tunnels, in addition to any other business related to this activity after the completion of the tunnels. From 2014 to 2024, a total of DKK 400m will be appropriated on the national budget for the tunnels, and the company has been authorised to take up loans for the funding of the project.
The purposes of the Eysturoy and Sandoy tunnels are to increase mobility, both for the average person on the Faroe Islands, companies and public administration. The tunnels will shorten the daily routes for several thousand people by up to an hour and a half and thereby strengthen private durability, commercial competition and national economy as a whole.
Half of all inhabitants of the Faroe Islands will live in an area where driving distance is insignificant and services will become available where previously the population foundation was too low.
The tunnels will be repaid through toll fees. Experiences from the Vágar tunnel and the Norðoy tunnel show that traffic in the tunnels is greater than originally expected and the growing number of cars ensures stable funding.
As a result of the Vágar tunnel and the Norðoya tunnel and now also the Eysturoy and Sandoy tunnels, some 90 per cent of the inhabitants of the Faroe Islands will connected through one network of roads. This is a tremendous step forwards for Faroese society as a whole – for businesses, culture and for the people.
The sub-sea tunnels are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are closed only on very rare occasions (usually due to work in the tunnels).
