Frudal Tunnel

The Frudal Tunnel is a road tunnel along Norwegian National Road 5 in Sogndal Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The tunnel is approximately long, starting at the Frudalen farm, passing through the mountains under the Frudalsbreen glacier, and exiting at the farm area. The tunnel was inaugurated on 29 October 1994.
Prior to the construction of the Frudal Tunnel, the Fjærland area was a fairly isolated part of Balestrand Municipality which residents had to use a ferry to reach the rest of Balestrand. After the completion of the tunnel, the residents were then connected to the more urban Sogndal Municipality by a highway. Due to this change, the local residents requested a municipal border change to move the whole Fjærland area into Sogndal Municipality. This border change took place on 1 January 2000.
