The Frudal Tunnel (Norwegian: Frudalstunnelen) is a road tunnel along Norwegian National Road 5 in Sogndal, Norway. The tunnel is approximately 6,758 metres (4.199 mi) long, starting at the Frudalen farm, passing through the mountains under the Frudalsbreen glacier, and exiting at the Berge [no] farm area. The tunnel was inaugurated on 29 October 1994.[1][2]
After the construction of the Frudal Tunnel, residents of Fjærland began discussing changes to municipal borders. On 1 January 2000, the entire Fjærland area was transferred to the Sogndal municipality. On 1 January 2020, the municipalities of Balestrand, Sogndal and Leikanger were merged into the Sogndal Municipality. [citation needed]
