(http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Subsea road tunnels in the Faroe Islands 1 Teitur Samuelsen 2 Eivind Grøv Managing Director, P/F Eystur- og Sandoyartunlar, Faroe Islands Professor, Sintef/NTNU, Norway 1 2 The Faroe Islands north of Scotland has a disproportionally large number of road tunnels. In addition to 44 km of existing tunnels, two further undersea tunnels totalling 22 km will be completed by 2023. A further 30 km undersea crossing is planned, providing nearly 2 m of tunnel for each of the 50 000 inhabitants. This paper describes the country’s recent, current and proposed subsea tunnelling projects. When eventually completed they will reduce journey times between the 18 major islands from up to a day to no more than a few hours’ drive. 1. Introduction of Norway. It is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark but is not part of the European Union. The Faroe Islands is an archipelago of 18 mountainous islands At present there are 20 road tunnels totalling 44 km in operation located in the Atlantic Ocean north of Scotland and 600 km west on the islands, including two subsea toll tunnels – the 4·9 km long Vága tunnel that opened in 2002 and the 6·2 km long Norðoya Viõoy Kalsoy Kunoy Fugloy tunnel that opened in 2006 (Figure 1 and Table 1).
