Granfoss Tunnel

Granfoss Tunnel

The Granfoss Tunnel are two tunnels on Ring 3 in Oslo, Norway. The tunnels are 2.1 km long and they are part of the Granfoss Line, a 2.9 km stretch of motorway which was opened in 1992 connecting Ring 3 with European route E18. The name comes from the Granfossen waterfall on the Lysakerelva river which passes close by. The two tunnels run from Lysaker to Mustad, and from Mustad to Ullern Church, respectively.

When the two tunnels with 4 lanes were opened for traffic, a bottleneck of Oslo's road system which had lingered for several decades was finally dissolved.

Despite there being two tunnels, the singular name is used in local parlance.
