The World's Only Underwater Roundabout

The Eysturoy Tunnel has the world's only underwater roundabout.

Tourists in the Faroe Islands may find the world's first underwater roundabout. It is in the Eysturoy Tunnel, which opened in 2020 and reduced travel time between islands.

The Faroe Islands are between Scotland and Iceland. They belong to Denmark but govern themselves. The islands have many tunnels due to unpredictable weather.

The Eysturoy Tunnel reduced travel time from Torshavn to Runavik to 16 minutes.

The Faroe Islands have 17 big islands and many smaller ones.

The Faroe Islands have both land and sea tunnels.

A marketing manager said the tunnels help the islands feel connected.

The tunnels were built with safety in mind. The company CEO said the tunnels are safe from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Eysturoy Tunnel is 'magical' to drive through, with a colorful roundabout.

The Faroe Islands have a big tunnel system.

Other tunnels also have artwork and installations.

The Sandoy Tunnel has glow-in-the-dark totems from Faroese folklore.

The CEO said they invested in art to support artists and improve driving safety.
