Map with all coordinates: 
The Gásadalstunnilin (Eng. Gänsetalstunnel) is a 1.4 kilometer long, single-lane road tunnel in the west of the Faroese island of Vágar . It runs roughly parallel to the southwest coast of the island and connects the villages of Bøur in the east with Gásadalur in the west, which are separated by the Knukarnir mountain. The tunnel was opened to pedestrians in 2003. From the beginning of 2004, residents could enter the tunnel with cars, but it was still closed to the general public. Since 2005 everyone has been able to drive freely through the tunnel. With the opening of the tunnel, the helicopter connection to Gásadalur was suspended.
The official opening after final completion was on December 21, 2006. It is the last tunnel in the Faroe Islands to connect an isolated village with the outside world.
