The Frafjord Tunnel (no|Frafjordtunnelen) is a road tunnel in Gjesdal municipality in Rogaland county, Norway. The 3812m (12,507feet) long tunnel is located along the Norwegian county road 281 connecting the villages of Frafjord and Gilja which are in two separate valleys with a large mountain between them. The tunnel opened on 10 June 1999 to replace the old, narrow, winding road that crosses the mountain pass above it, making the trip a faster and safer one.[1] [2]
