Lærdal Tunnel

Lærdalstunnelen

At 24.5 km, the world's longest road tunnel, with three caverns lit in blue and yellow to help relieve driver fatigue.

The Lærdal Tunnel opened in 2000. It runs 24.5 km and connects Aurland and Lærdal as part of the E16 Oslo–Bergen highway. To ease driver monotony, a large cavern is placed about every 6 km along the tunnel, lit in blue and yellow to mimic sunrise, and drivers can stop briefly to take photos. Passage is free, and the drive takes about 20 minutes. It is the required route from Flåm to Borgund Stave Church.
