The Arnardalshamar Tunnel is a tunnel in Iceland, located in Westfjords along Route 61. It has a length of 30 m (98 ft) and was opened in 1948.[1] It was the first manmade tunnel in Iceland and it is also the shortest.[2][3][4] It cuts through a basalt dike known as Arnardalshamar, between Skutulsfjörður and Álftafjörður.[5] The tunnel was widened to 8.5 m (28 ft) in 1995.[6]
