The Fjæra Tunnel (Norwegian: Fjæratunnelen) is a road tunnel in Etne municipality in Vestland county, Norway. The 1,518-metre (4,980 ft) long tunnel is located on the European route E134 highway, just southwest of the village of Fjæra. The tunnel was built in 1992 to replace the narrow, winding road that ran between the shore of the Åkrafjorden and the base of the steep mountains.[1]
