Vadlaheidi Tunnel is a 7.5 km (4.7 miles) long tunnel on the Icelandic Ring Road, close to the town of Akureyri in North Iceland. The tunnel bypasses the precipitous Vikurskard Mountain Passage, a hazard for drivers in bad weather. The tunnel shortens the Ring Road by ca. 16 km (10 miles), saving drivers up to 12 minutes in good weather conditions.
