Faroe Islands to have two new subsea tunnels by 2024

The Faroe Islands will have two new toll-financed subsea tunnels by 2024 after the Løgting parliament approved the Islands’ biggest ever public construction project. One of the tunnels, Eysturoyartunnelen, will connect the islands of Eysturoy and Streymoy, and the other, Sandoyartunnelen, will connect islands of Streymoy and Sandoy. The estimated cost of the tunnels are €140.63 million (DKK 1.05 billion) and €115.18 million (DKK 860 million) respectively.
