The Vallavik Tunnel (Norwegian: Vallaviktunnelen) is a road tunnel in Hordaland county, Norway. The tunnel begins on the north edge of the village of Eide in Granvin municipality and travels to the southeast and ends at the small farm of Vallaviki in Ulvik municipality. The tunnel is part of the Norwegian National Road 13 and the Norwegian County Road 7. The 7,510-metre (24,640 ft) long tunnel was originally opened on 27 April 1985.[1]
