The 4,443-metre (14,577 ft) long tunnel opened on 15 June 1999, on the same date as the North Cape Tunnel, as part of a large project to connect the mainland of Norway to North Cape. This tunnel goes through a large mountain called "Honningsvågfjellet" west of the town of Honningsvåg. The 9-metre (30 ft) wide tunnel has 2 lanes (one in each direction). It is the northernmost public road tunnel in the world.[2]
